Distribuição espacial das guildas tróficas e estruturação da comunidade de Ephemeroptera (Insecta) em córregos do Cerrado de Mato Grosso, Brasil

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Spatial distribution of trophic guilds and community structure of Ephemeroptera (Insecta) in streams of the Cerrado region in Mato Grosso, Brazil. We analyzed the structure of the functional feeding groups of Ephemeroptera in five different types of substrates (litter in riffles, backwater litter, wood, stones and roots) from first to fifth orders at the Pindaíba River basin, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. We also studied the specificity and frequency of the organism, and if the functional approach re… Show more

“…We established 100-m linear transects on the right bank in each sampling point. These transects were further divided into 20 5-m segments Dias-Silva et al, 2010;Shimano et al, 2012Shimano et al, , 2013. Samples of the substrate were obtained through a sieve of 18 cm diameter and 250 µm mesh, and were collected three times per segment.…”

“…Specimens were conserved in 85% ethanol and are housed at the zoobotanical collection James A. Ratter (CZNX, Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso). We classified each species/morphospecies into functional trophic group according to the literature (Bello & Cabrera, 2001;Polegatto & Froehlich, 2003;Baptista et al, 2006;Shimano et al, 2012).…”

“…The leptophlebiids of the genus Terpides Demoulin 1966 are strongly related with riparian forests, and are generally found close to the margins of small streams (Domı´nguez et al, 2006), where they feed on fragments of organic matter (Shimano et al, 2012). Given the ample distribution of the genus, and the abundance of these mayflies at most sites, which facilitates the identification of species, Terpides appears to be a strong candidate for a bio-indicator of preserved environments.…”

“…These mayflies tend to be abundant and widely distributed, and are found in rhithral and potamal lotic habitats, as well as semi-lotic environments, such as rhithral impoundments or flooded forests (Da Silva et al, 2010). These organisms are also crucial to nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems due to their functional roles as scrapers, filterers and shredders of organic matter (Baptista et al, 2006;Bello and Cabrera, 2001;Shimano et al, 2012;Brasil et al, 2013).…”
