Diversidade de moluscos em riachos de uma região de encosta no extremo sul do Brasil

Abstract: Moluscos de riachos de uma região de encosta, no extremo sul do Brasil (Bacia do Rio Toropi) foram inventariados através de coletas conduzidas em 40 locais, com altitudes variando entre 70 e 500 metros. Ao todo, 18 espécies foram encontradas, representadas predominantemente por gastrópodes (11 espécies, 89,5% dos indivíduos). Potamolithus catharinae e Uncancylus concentricus foram as espécies dominantes. A última espécie também foi a melhor distribuída, estando presente em 81% dos locais amostrados. Entre os b… Show more

“…Although collections were temporally restricted, 52 genera were found, and three of them are new records for the state. The elevated number of genera found in the study area is due to the environmental heterogeneity of the streams located in slope areas, as observed in other studies (Floss et al, 2012;Sá et al, 2013). Additionally, it is verified that the elevation gradient of the study area affected climatic, anthropic and spatial drivers, such as air temperature, stream order and electrical conductivity, which, in turn, influenced the distribution of some genera (e.g., Camelobaetidius, Paracloeodes, Americabaetis, Smicridea and Thraulodes).…”

“…In such regions, streams tend to show great variability in abiotic factors through their courses, especially in river bed sediment grain size (Alan and Castillo, 2007), providing a high number of suitable habitats for the establishment of more diverse macroinvertebrate communities (Principe and Corigliano, 2006). In lowland courses, the occurrence of macrophytes can also be expressive (Sá et al, 2013). Aquatic vegetation represents one of the main factors providing habitat and refugia for macroinvertebrates, favoring an increment in richness (Taniguchi and Tokeshi, 2004).…”

“…As for the taxa that comprise Group III (riffle and water‐penny beetles), their larvae are mainly benthic, and adults seldom disperse beyond watercourse, but mainly by stream corridors (Elliot, 2008). Several freshwater mollusks have fully aquatic life cycle, and most of the genera recorded here are sedentary (Martello et al, 2017; Sá et al, 2013). Therefore, OD should pose a stronger restraint for homogenizing effects in the composition of their assemblages compared to WD, and this assumption was basically confirmed.…”

“…Este estudo foi conduzido de junho a outubro de 2000 e 2001, e registrou a ocorrência de nove táxons de gastrópodes e seis de bivalves. Os gastrópodes foram mais diversos do que os bivalves, refletindo as condições de rios de áreas de encosta (Sá et al 2013). Mais tarde, em um inventário feito na região da Quarta Colônia de Imigração Italiana (Kotzian et al 2002), 22 táxons foram registrados.…”
