Rhyacophila lobifera Betten, 1934 has been previously documented in the upper Midwest states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and the province of Ontario. Here we report on the diversity of this species in the Rouge and Huron River watersheds using DNA barcode-verified identifications to confirm the first known Michigan record of this species, with collection from the lower Rouge River in 2003 and again in 2008. Since first detection, we document that the range of R. lobifera in the Rouge River watershed has expanded to include at least one additional site on the Lower Branch and five sites on the Middle Branch (Johnson Creek), as well three sites in the neighboring Huron River watershed. Our sequence analysis of the mitochondrial COI barcode gene region suggests a fine scale population structure in these watersheds, with haplotype partitioning congruent with proposed dispersal patterns based on first records at each site. Ranking as a 4 on the Hilsenhoff's biotic index—an intermediate level of water quality tolerance, discovery of R. lobifera in an urbanized southeast Michigan watershed is not unexpected, but population genetic patterns lend insight into its recent range expansion.

Atmospheric inputs of trace elements to the Rouge River watershed by particle dry deposition and aerosol scavenging by precipitation were presented along with the annual emission of trace elements to the atmosphere by emission source category. A dynamic physical-based model was used to evaluate the dry and wet deposition flux of particle-segregated trace elements and its temporal and spatial variation in the Rouge River watershed from 1982 to 1992. Annual emissions of trace elements to the atmosphere were estimated assuming a controlled status for all the emission sources which include coal and oil combustion utilities, iron-steel manufacturing plants, metal production from primary and secondary pyrometallurgical processes, cement manufacturing, solid waste and sewage sludge incinerators. In general, there is a good agreement between the trend in the atmospheric input (dry + wet deposition fluxes) to the Rouge River watershed and that in the annual emission of trace elements to the atmosphere with r2 in the range of 0.84 to 0.98. Atmospheric inputs and emissions are following downward trends for Pb, whereas for Cd, Cr, Ni and Hg show a steady increase since 1987/1988. The modeled long-term average of the total (dry + wet) deposition flux of trace elements to the Rouge River watershed is 3167 ± 2548 g km−2 yr−1 for Pb, 397 ± 132 g km−2 yr−1 for Ni, 350 ± 160 g km−2 yr−1 for Cr, 130 ± 39 g km−2 yr−1 for Cd, and 8.6 ± 3.7 g km−2 yr−1 for Hg.
