Variações ecomorfológicas e de uso de habitat em Piabina argentea (Characiformes, Characidae) da bacia do Rio das Velhas, Minas Gerais, Brasil

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Ecomorphological and habitat use variations in Piabina argentea (Characiformes, Characidae) from Velhas River basin, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This study aimed to investigate the local and regional patterns of habitat use by Piabina argentea Reinhardt, 1867 in four different rivers from the Velhas River basin. Water velocity, depth and substrate were measured at each sampling site. Ecomorphological analysis was performed using 17 ecomorphological attributes and 40 specimens from each river. Although the … Show more

“…Although we found similar results for depth preferences, P. argentea used more areas with velocities higher than 1 m/s. This result may indicate a fish adjusting to the presence of those habitats, as was reported in Leal et al (2013).…”

“…In this study, the only species whose abundance followed the WUA index was P. argentea: 273 and 100 individuals were sampled in Velhas and Curimataí reaches, respectively. Leal et al (2013) reported the plasticity of P. argentea, which uses different microhabitats in different river reaches in the Velhas River basin. In previous studies, P. argentea preferred areas deeper than 0.51 m and lower velocities (between 0 and 0.2 m/s) (Teresa, Casatti, 2013).…”

“…Castro et al (2016). According to Leal et al (2013) individuals tend to occupy the habitats where they are most adapted to. So, the relation between species and certain environmental variables, such as velocity, depth, discharge and substrate is usually intense.…”

“…A variabilidade espacial e temporal dos gradientes dos fatores ambientais produzem variações ecomorfológicas entre populações, sem entretanto, causar diferenças morfológicas expressivas (Noronha & Moraes, 2001;Leal et al, 2013;Padilla & Savedo, 2013).…”
