Do local environmental factors structure the trophic niche of the splash tetra, Copella arnoldi? A test in an Amazonian stream system

Abstract: Environmental variation affects the availability of spatial and trophic resources in Amazonian streams and may be important factors structuring the diet of fishes. We analyzed the diet composition and trophic niche breadth of the lebiasinid splash tetra, Copella arnoldi, aiming to evaluate how environmental variation in Amazonian streams affects the species' trophic niche. Fish were captured and environmental factors were recorded in 20 streams in the Caxiuanã National Forest, in the eastern Amazon, in Novembe… Show more

“…This result indicates that the diet between individuals within each population and between populations are homogeneous. Studies report that homogeneous diets may indicate the partitioning of food resources favoring intraspecific coexistence and population stability (Neves et al, 2018;Soares et al, 2020;Kliemann et al, 2021). Thus, we assumed that the homogeneity in the diets and the high consumption of algae and macrophytes indicate the partitioning of resources.…”

“…O hábito alimentar dos lebisianídeos como P. cf. brevis depende dos recursos alóctones oriundos da vegetação circundante desses canais (Silva et al, 2016;Soares et al, 2020); são encontrados em maior concentração nas porções mais lentas do canal, principalmente em ambiente rasos, marginais e até poças (Sabino & Zuanon, 1998;Zuanon et al, 2015) geralmente com leito coberto de folhas (Barros, obs. pessoal).…”

“…Considering all the information outlined earlier, the importance of the trophic ecology studies of stream fish is clear. They can improve our understanding of ecological processes in stream ecosystems, making possible defining management and conservation strategies for both species and the entire stream ecosystem (Soares et al, 2020; Tófoli et al, 2010). Therefore, this study aims to evaluate temporal, spatial, and body size variations in the feeding ecology of M. collettii in streams in the eastern Amazon, answering the following question: How do environmental variations over time and space, as well as body size, affect the diet composition, trophic niche width, and feeding intensity of M. collettii in streams in the eastern Amazon?…”
