Abstract: Influence of land-use on structural and functional macroinvertebrate composition communities associated on detritus in Subtropical Atlantic Forest streamsInfluência do uso da terra sobre a composição estrutural e funcional da comunidade de macroinvertebrados associados a detritos em riachos subtropicais da Floresta Atlântica Abstract: Aim: Our aim in this study was to evaluate the effects of land use in drainage basins of the streams on the taxonomic and functional composition of aquatic invertebrate communiti… Show more

“…The riparian vegetation was an important environmental factor that generated the dissimilarity of the communities. Many organisms are dependent on the input of allochthonous organic matter that serves as a source of food or shelter (Hepp et al, 2016).…”

“…Agriculture and exposed soils contribute to the supply of chemicals, heavy metals, and nutrients in the water (Sensolo et al, 2012). In addition, agricultural activities promote the removal of riparian vegetation, causing instability in the banks of rivers and streams and increasing the sediment supply to these environments (Hepp et al, 2016). We found that the occurrence of A. odebrechtii was associated with streams without vegetation.…”

“…In Palmas landscape, the land use alterations also started before conservation unit creation, extending to today. So, these past environmental alterations could have led to riparian forest and landscape structural changes, factors that affect the benthic macroinvertebrate richness and composition (Hepp & Santos, 2009;Sensolo, Hepp, Decian, & Restello, 2012;Hepp et al, 2016). The replacement of specialist organisms by generalists occurs as a response to changes in land use (Petsch, 2016;Castro et al, 2018).…”

“…Environmental assessment of aquatic invertebrate responses to anthropogenic disturbance helps to understand which factors drive community structure changes (Hepp et al, 2016;Castro, Dolédec, & Callisto, 2018;Ongaratto, Loureiro, Restello, & Hepp, 2018). Aquatic ecosystems in subtropical Brazil are presently under intense environmental pressure due to riparian vegetation suppression and allochthonous inputs from watercourses' surroundings (Ferreira, Cyrino, Duarte-Neto, & Martinelli, 2012).…”
