Temporal dynamics of two species of Chaetophoraceae (Chlorophyta) in tropical streams of São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil

Abstract: -(Temporal dynamics of two species of Chaetophoraceae (Chlorophyta) in tropical streams of São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil). Temporal dynamics of the chaetophoracean green algae Chaetophora elegans (Roth) C.A. Agardh and Stigeoclonium amoenum Kützing populations was investigated biweekly during late autumn trhough early spring (April to October) in two tropical streams from northwestern São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. Abundances of one population of each species was evaluated by the quadrat techniqu… Show more

“…Calothrix and Tolypothrix) can have a mucilaginous sheath, also in agreement with the mucilaginous matrix occurring in this species. In addition, such characteristics agree with those observed in a seasonal study in the study site (Branco & Necchi Jr. 2003). According to Biggs (1996) the main factors that controls the patterns of periphyton biomass and community composition of unshaded regions are disturbance (mostly water flow increase) and resource supply (mostly inorganic nutrients).…”

“…The stream segment has an artificial substratum (concrete), since it is located close to a bridge, and is open (well illuminated) with a dominantly herbaceous (sparsely shruby) marginal vegetation. This stream was chosen because of its favorable physical characteristics to the aims of this study, as well as for having been relatively well-studied previously as to macroalgal seasonal dynamics (Necchi Jr. & Pascoaloto 1993;Necchi Jr. & Branco 1999;Branco & Necchi Jr. 2003).…”

“…De acordo com Burkholder (1996), o leito rochoso de riachos é um substrato estável, permitindo sua intensa colonização algal. E, de um modo geral, algas com o talo gelatinoso parecem ser favorecidas pela velocidade da correnteza, pois este fator permite maior absorção de nutrientes devido à redução no tamanho da concha de difusão (Stevenson 1996, Branco & Necchi Junior, 2003.…”

“…Tal constatação parece confirmar-se no presente trabalho, já que elevados valores de velocidade da correnteza foram encontrados. Diversos trabalhos têm constatado a relação entre abundancia de algas bentônicas e o tamanho das partículas do substrato (Necchi & Moreira 1995, Cattaneo et al 1997, Branco & Necchi 2003, Downes et al 2003, Bergey & Resh 2006, o que demonstra a importância desse fator físico na distribuição destes organismos. Os baixos valores de largura de nicho obtidos para as duas populações de Tolypothrix distorta indicam ainda o baixo grau de especialização das condições de microhabitat nos segmentos avaliados, demonstrando a alta tolerância dessa espécie às variações nos parâmetros microambientais.…”
