lotic (LOH-tik) - adj., of, relating to, or living in flowing water.
Compare lentic: of, relating to, or living in still waters (such as lakes, ponds, or swamps). Riverine ecosystems are prime examples of lotic habitats. Coined around 1920 from Latin lōtus, past participle of lavere, to wash.
And that wraps up a 5x5 week -- back to the usual unsorted mishpash next week.
