“…Considering that the abundance of predators depends directly on prey availability (Vannote et al, 1980), the increase in the total number of macroinvertebrates and Chironomidae may have contributed to the increased numerical density of this genus. Tanytarsus inhabits sand substrates and is commonly found in environments with low water flux (Roque et al, 2004;Takahashi et al, 2008). The Leptoceridae and Polycentropodidae also include taxa that inhabit ponds and backwaters (Pérez, 1988;MartinsSilva et al, 2008).…”

“…Henriques-Oliveira et al, 2003a). The absence of records of this genus in a review about Chironomidae at lentic systems of São Paulo State (Roque et al, 2004) is evidence of its association with faster water. Moreover, the relationship between Lopescladius and sand substrate (e.g.…”

“…Organic pollution usually decreases dissolved oxygen concentrations affecting the persistence of many aquatic groups and decreasing the taxonomic richness (Bachmann 1995, Roque et al 2003. Most Chironomidae groups are resistant to environmental disturbances due to their ability to live in conditions of low oxygen concentrations and high organic content (Sanseverino et al 1998, Roque et al 2004, de Bisthoven et al 2005, Cranston 2007. Barbour et al (1996) claimed that Chironomus is the genera with the highest tolerance to organic pollution due to its ability to use hemoglobin for oxygen transportation, helping to sustain aerobic metabolism even under low oxygen situations.…”
