摘要：无脊椎动物在湿地中是一个重要的生态角色，但是对于到底是哪些因素控制着它们的动态开展的研究很少。本文回顾了北美地区无脊椎动物最受关注的14个区域中开展过的相关研究，研究表明水文、植被因素、人为扰动以及捕食是湿地无脊椎动物最重要的控制因素。但是对于这些因素是如何影响无脊椎动物群落的并没有一致的结论。研究区内外的发现往往是模棱两可、自相矛盾、或是不确定的。相当多的证据表明湿地无脊椎动物是有弹性的多面手生物体，且对环境的变化不敏感。然而，大量的研究也表明，湿地中无脊椎动物对环境做出不同的反应，但是往往缺乏一致的模式。这表明，湿地中无脊椎动物可能对环境变化非常敏感，但是相互作用会比较复杂并且难以预测。所有的结论都意味着，如果未经仔细的研究，对湿地无脊椎动物的生态响应很难得出结论。

Abstract: Invertebrates play important ecological roles in wetlands, but what factors control their dynamics are poorly established. I review available research conducted in 14 areas of North America where invertebrates have received the most attention. Studies indicate that hydrology, plant factors, anthropogenic disturbance, and predation are the most important controls on wetland invertebrates, but little consensus emerged about howthese factors influence invertebrate communities. Findings were often equivocal, contradictory, or inconclusive, either within or among areas. Considerable evidence indicated that wetland invertebrates are resilient, generalist organisms, and a lack of response may reflect insensitivity to environmental variation. However, numerous studies also indicated distinct responses by some invertebrates in some wetlands, although consistent patterns were often lacking. This suggests that wetland invertebrates might be very sensitive to environmental variation, but interactions can be complex and difficult to predict. Either conclusion means that generalizations about how invertebrates in wetland respond ecologically will be difficult to generate without careful study.
