Salmela, 2008: 12, 29, 40, 53 (49) (ecology or habitat: lotic, associated with swift lowing streams and brooks, citing Tjeder, 1959 and Hancock, 1991; all recent Finnish records are from headwater streams characterized by minerogenous bottom, clear water and slightly alkaline or neutral water quality; conservation value indicator). Habitat. Penttinen et al., 2010: 485 (red list status incl. criteria, habitats, causes of threat, threat factors). Habitat. Kramer, 2012f: 3 (from wooded river bank [Kramer pers. comm. july 2012: Dicranota robusta is currently rated as NT in Finland, but that is perhaps because it is under-recorded. They emerge early and lurk low down and are even found under stones at the river margin, and so they are not likely to turn up in a Malaise trap]). Habitat. Salmela et al., 2019: 521 (red list status, habitat types, threat factors). Great Britain Habitat. Godfrey, 1999: 78 (species with strong allegiance to exposed riverine sediments). Habitat. Hewitt et al., 2005: 52 (species with a strong association with exposed riverine sediment habitats). Biology. Hancock, 2009b: 3 (a characteristic vernal species of upland fast-flowing streams with low nutrient levels and exposed margins of shingle or small stones, adults usually have shortened and narrow wings which have only a minimal function for flight, some adults may have longer wings but are still reluctant to fly, notes on collecting adults from partly submerged stones). Habitat. Cranston and Drake, 2010: 175 (Dicranota larvae can be found in marginal situations along flowing waters [except for D. lucidipennis, no species mentioned]). Habitat. Kramer, 2010a: 2 (usual larval habitat is fast-flowing upland streams with low nutrient levels and a stony/shingle margin, also found in North Somerset at a calcareous nutrient-rich stream at 175 m, so not upland; adults shelter underneath stones at the stream margins). Habitat. Drake, 2011b: 100 (collected by kick-sampling in a small shaded calcereous stream). Habitat. Brighton, 2017c: 29, 40 (overall regional checklist Lancashire and Cheshire (VC58, 59 and 60) with notes on habitats and/or regional occurrence and/or status; see paper for details). Biology. Hancock and Horsfield, 2017: 8 (has reduced wings and are reluctant flyers, usually restricted to skittering across the ground surface when disturbed, citing Hancock, 1991). Habitat. Hancock and Horsfield, 2017: 8 (inhabitant of exposed upland streams). Habitat. Hancock, 2018a: 9 (found near Loch Lomond along Endrick Water, notes on association with riverine sediments (ERS) habitats and early date of collecting (april 22)). on distribution (mainly from 2000 onward): Croatia Distribution.
