Effects of hydrological regime and connectivity on the interannual variation in taxonomic similarity of periphytic algae

Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of flood pulses (intensity) on the richness and composition of periphytic algae in lentic environments of the Upper Paraná River floodplain, over a six-year period. Other factors, such as connectivity of the environments with the main channel of the river and the availability of substrate for the periphyton, were also evaluated. For qualitative analyses, periphyton community was sampled from adult petioles of Eichhornia azurea Kunth taken from the littoral regio… Show more

“…In a study conducted in the floodplain of the Alto Paraná river, Algarte et al (2009) also found Bacillariophyceae to be the dominant class during the low-water period. According to those authors, Bacillariophyceae can be dominant during low-water periods because several species of this class have the capacity to occupy substrates rapidly and to develop under a variety of environmental conditions.…”

“…A porção norte da Laguna dos Patos detém uma fl órula rica em Chlorophyceae, comprovada pelo estudo da estrutura e dinâmica da comunidade fi toplactônica em um ciclo anual (Torgan 1999). A importância da conectividade de ambientes para a estrutura e manutenção da biodiversidade dos ecossistemas aquáticos foi também evidenciado nos estudos em planície de inundação de regiões subtropicais, por Algarte et al, (2009) e Th omaz et al (2007. Na área do Butiazal de Tapes, onde ocorrem somente lagoas isoladas, não houve variação nítida destes atributos entre os dois hidroperíodos.…”

“…Cyanobacteria consiste em um dos principais grupos em termos de riqueza e abundância na comunidade perifítica dos ambientes da planície do alto Rio Paraná (Rodrigues & Bicudo 2001, Fonseca & Rodrigues 2005, Algarte et al 2006, 2009 (Xanthophyceae). este fato denota a insuficiência dos estudos taxonômicos das algas perifíticas, particularmente para a planície de inundação do alto Rio Paraná.…”
