Species of the family Ephydridae often are prominent members of aquatic and semi - aquatic environmentsThe family has been of great interest because of the extreme abundance of certain species in marginal habitats including highly saline and alkaline lakes and pools , and crude oil poolsThe fresh water species have elicited more attention in recent years , but most studies have been concerned primarily with elucidation life histories (Eastin and Foot , 1971 ; Deonier 1972 ; Busacca and Foot 1978 ; Deonier and Regensburg 1978)
