Abstract
Urban green spaces should be utilized to maximize biodiversity. Golf courses are great examples of urban green spaces with lentic habitats dispersed among them. This study aims to compare the diversity and abundance of macroinvertebrates across permanent golf course ponds, permanent forest preserve ponds, and ephemeral forest preserve ponds across the Chicago Metropolitan region.

Characterizing lentic habitats in golf courses and adjacent green spaces surrounding the Chicago Metropolitan Region: diversity and abundance of aquatic insects
Urban green spaces should be utilized to maximize biodiversity. Golf courses are great examples of urban green spaces with lentic habitats dispersed among them. This study aims to compare the diversity and abundance of macroinvertebrates across permanent golf course ponds, permanent forest preserve ponds, and ephemeral forest preserve ponds across the Chicago Metropolitan region.
