Benthic distribution in small tropical lakes: The presence of macrophytes matters
(2018-04-01)
The objective of this study was to compare the structure of macroinvertebrate communities in two lakes, one with and another without macrophytes (M+ and M-, respectively). Due to the high concentration of macrophytes into ...
Benthic distribution in small tropical lakes: the presence of macrophytes matters
(Int Soc Tropical Ecology, 2018-04-01)
The objective of this study was to compare the structure of macroinvertebrate communities in two lakes, one with and another without macrophytes (M+ and M-, respectively). Due to the high concentration of macrophytes into ...
Ultraviolet-B-driven pigmentation and genetic diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates from high-altitude Andean streams
(Wiley, 2013)
Photoprotective pigments in benthic macroinvertebrates may reduce the damage caused by the blistering UV-B radiation in Andean high-altitude streams above 3500 m. The aim of this study was therefore to determine whether ...
Which index is the best to assess stream health?
(Elsevier Science, 2011-01)
Biotic indices are widely used in monitoring the health status of various ecosystems. The choice of the best index is generally done qualitatively depending on a variety of aspects including cost and time. ROC (Receiver ...
Land-use impacts on benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in pampean streams (Argentina)
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-02-01)
In recent decades agriculture has intensified in the Argentine Pampa, and pesticide application has also increased. Livestock fields, although being progressively replaced by crops, are still commonly interspersed with ...
Seasonal patterns of benthic arthropods in a subtropical Andean basin
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2009-05)
We studied the seasonal variation of arthropod assemblages and the response to high discharge events in a subtropical Andean basin. Using abundance of common taxa and taxon richness of each sampled site, we examined the ...
Macroinvertebrados bentônicos e fatores físicos e químicos como indicadores de qualidade da água da Bacia do Alto Jacaré-Guaçu (SP)
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosBRUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, 2009-05-26)
Physical, chemical and biological variables from 6 pre-selected sampling stations, including rivers and one reservoir at the Jacaré-Guaçu (SP) watershed, were sampled during the months of July, 2007 and March, 2008. The ...
Metal leaching, acidity, and altitude confine benthic macroinvertebrate community composition in Andean streams
(Wiley, 2014)
Andean streams drain metal-rich bedrock and are subjected to an extreme altitude gradient, which may create highly selective conditions for life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the combined effects of metals ...
