Much less is known about the freshwater invertebrates of Palau (and about freshwater invertebrates of tropical islands in Oceania generally), so this list is a bit shorter, and more broad. Some of the references deal with the use of freshwater macroinvertebrates as biomonitoring tools, and some deal with the general ecology of stream invertebrates generally.
