“…Among the streams studied here, the lowest temperature and the highest elevation (average of 1,550 m) was recorded in mixed rainforest (Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão), which could have affected the assemblages structure, especially considering the fact that some genera were only recorded in this area (Campylocia, Tupiara, Hagenulopsis, Hermanella, Leptohyphodes and Melanemerella). Nymphs of the genus Hermanella seem to be most represented in high altitude regions (Raimundi et al 2013), however there is no information available on the others. These result emphasize that the mountainous regions of state of São Paulo harbor a high diversity of aquatic insects, as was previously demonstrated in studies in the Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão with Trichoptera Froehlich 2009), Ephemeroptera (Siegloch et al 2012) and Coleoptera (Segura et al 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to test the effect of agricultural and forestry land use on the structure of mayfly assemblages in low-order streams. Twenty-nine headwater streams were investigated in the state of São Paulo. We analyzed 15 streams in pristine areas (mixed tropical rainforest, semideciduous forest and dense tropical rainforest), and 14 streams covered with sugarcane, eucalyptus and pasture. Mayfly richness obtained by rarefaction curves was higher in pristine areas (21 genera), especially in mixed and semideciduous forest when compared to land use (9 genera), where values were particularly low in sugarcane plantation (3 genera). The non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination showed clear difference in mayfly assemblages between land uses and pristine areas, supported by analysis of similarity (R=0.67, p=0.001). In partial redundancy analysis (pRDA), the environmental descriptors that best explained differences in assemblage structure were Riparian, Channel and Environmental Inventory (RCE) index score, percentage of fine sediment stream substrate, water pH and land elevation. Our results show that agricultural and forestry land use has a strong negative effect on the structure of mayfly assemblages. These results also support the use of mayflies as environmental indicators, as some genera were sensitive to changes in land use, while others responded to naturally occurring changes in the study area.

“…In the western region of the Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil, for instance, there are many studies related to insects (SILVA, 1999;SILVA & SILVESTRE, 2000;SILVA & SILVESTRE, 2004;LUTINSKI & GARCIA, 2005;GRACIANI et al, 2005;MARCONDES et al, 2006;RAVANELLO, 2007;LUTINSKI et al, 2008;IOP et al, 2009;BATTISTONI, 2012;FAVRETTO, 2012;SCHMIDT et al, 2012;SANTOS et al, 2013;FAVRETTO et al, 2013a;FAVRETTO et al, 2013b;RAIMUNDI et al, 2013;FAVRETTO et al, 2014;SANTOS et al, 2014;FAVRETTO et al, 2015;ORLANDIN et al 2017). However, only Ravanello's research (2007) covers the entire extension of hydrographic basins as sampling parcels, as the other papers have focus on forest remnants, small areas or dispersal species record.…”

In Brazil hydrographic basins are geographical unities used to environmental and hydric resources management, but few studies focus in the biodiversity variation within these unities. Here we present the results of spatial variation of aquatic insects in streams of a hydrographic basin in Southern Brazil. The insect composition was analyzed in relation to abundance of the families, functional trophic group and environmental evaluation indexes proposed by literature. The insects had a heterogeneous distribution in the sampling areas of the hydrographic basin. The most abundant families were Hydropsychidae, Philopotamidae and Leptophlebiidae, which demonstrate a good oxygenation of the water in the sampling streams. The most abundant functional trophic groups were gatherer-collector (20%) and scraper (18.92%). The indexes demonstrated the riverbeds of the streams are stable, with a high presence of fine particulate organic matter and they were considered heterotrophic. However, they also indicated a low abundance of shredders, which may be related to poor environmental conditions in the riparian forests. Therefore, here we found spatial variation of aquatic insects and indexes performed indicated the main human impacts as deforestation and inadequate land use. The data obtained also contributed to reinforce the importance of hydrographic basin as geographical unities for environmental conservation.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a entomofauna aquática em um lago artificial no perímetro urbano no município de Joaçaba, estado de Santa Catarina, sul do Brasil. As coletas foram realizadas nos meses de agosto, outubro, novembro e dezembro de 2013, durante o período matutino com auxílio de rede entomológica. No total foram coletados 300 exemplares divididos em cinco ordens. Odonata foi a ordem mais abundante, tendo sido representada por Coenagrionidae, Lestidae e Aeshnidae. Ainda Hemiptera foi representada por Notonectidae, Belostomatidae, Nepidae, Gerridae, Mesovellidae e Corixidae e Ephemeroptera com Baetidae. Quanto aos grupos tróficos funcionais, 85% das espécies foram de predadores, 10% de fragmentadores/coletores e 5% de coletores.
