Influence of environmental variables on stream fish fauna at multiple spatial scales

Abstract: Effects of environmental variables at different spatial scales on freshwater fish assemblages are relatively unexplored in Neotropical ecosystems. However, those influences are important for developing management strategies to conserve fish diversity and water resources. We evaluated the influences of site-(in-stream) and catchment-scale (land use and cover) environmental variables on the abundance and occurrence of fish species in streams of the Upper Araguari River basin through use of variance partitioning … Show more

“…These results are consistent with other studies showing that landscape environmental factors have less explanatory power than local factors (Johnson, Furse, Hering & Sandin, ; Lammert & Allan, ; Lemke & Súarez, ). However, the relative importance of local and landscape factors may depend on the spatial scale investigated (Junqueira et al., ). In this study, the sampled streams are mostly headwaters encompassing a narrow range of landscape gradients.…”

“…Atualmente, vários estudos utilizam abordagens de Ecologia da Paisagem para avaliar (i) padrões espaciais e disponibilidade de recursos disponíveis a comunidades biológicas (O'Neill et al 1988); (ii) padrões espaciais em múltiplas escalas hierárquicas e diversidade biológica , Marzin et al 2013, Macedo et al 2014a, Junqueira et al 2016; (iii) contexto espacial na distribuição da biodiversidade (Melo et al 2009, Ashcroft et al 2012, Ferreira et al 2017; (iv) fragmentação e padrões de vegetação e diversidade biológica (Metzger 2000, Zimbres et al 2012 e, também, (v) para o planejamento ambiental (Herrmann et al 2011). Em outras palavras, a Ecologia da Paisagem oferece conceitos, teorias e métodos que revelam a importância dos padrões espaciais na dinâmica e nas interações biológicas em ecossistemas (Turner et al 2001).…”

“…Além disso, estudos sobre a influência de fatores ambientais em diferentes escalas espaciais na biota neotropical ainda são escassos (p. ex. Macedo et al 2014a, Junqueira et al 2016, Castro et al 2017, Leal et al 2018.…”

“…For the neotropics, information about fish communities is scarce, even more in the Central American region (Lowe-McConnell, 1987;Winemiller et al, 2008;Junqueira et al, 2016). However, in the last decades, some researchers are aiming to improve the understanding of the freshwater fish communities in the area.…”

“…Likewise, many of these geomorphological characteristics of the basin are also influencing water physicochemical factors, such as: dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, salinity, and conductivity, which can have an effect on fish communities (Bussing, López, 1977;. Moreover, landscape factors such as the watershed area or land-use activities can be strongly correlated with the composition, structure, and distribution of species (Schlosser, 1991;Esselman, Allan, 2010;Junqueira et al, 2016).…”
