in stream flow discharge, including changes in hydrological processes (with network waterproofing), are common characteristics of human-modified streams, resulting in a decrease in soil percolation and an increase in superficial discharge (Dunne and Leopold 1978). As a consequence, changes in channel stability and morphology and increases in wastewater discharge are expected, which are reflected in ecological aspects, such as changes in species distributions (Maloney and Weller 2010; Alexandre et al. 2010; Cunico et al. 2012), decreases in species richness, and dominance of tolerant species to environmental degradation (Paul and Meyer 2001; Meyer et al. 2005). Although in recent years there has been a significant increase in the studies of the ichthyofauna in tropical streams the knowledge is less extensive than that of temperate areas (Winemiller et al. 2008). In Brazilian inland waters, especially in urban stream, the estimates of the fish diversity are still imprecise due to the lack of complete inventories (Agostinho et al. 2008). First-order streams are abundant and unique components of a river network, they showing high biological diversity and are important for maintenance of the biological integrity of entire ecosystem (Meyer et al. 2007). List of species contributes to build a database on species distribution patterns in altered environments, and to set the ground for future actions of biodiversity management and conservation In the present study, we sampled ichthtyofauna in three first-order streams affected by urban activities, aiming at inventorying the fish species that occur in these particular environments.

“…The occurrence of A. bockmanni and H. ancistroides in all collection sites may be related to the high tolerance of these species to environmental degradation (Petesse et al 2007;Furlan et al 2013). There were also species adapted to the stretches impacted by dams and use both environments.…”

Several studies of small watersheds of in the Upper Paraná River basin are currently available. However, the number and extent of its tributary streams still pose a challenge to enhancing current knowledge of their ichthyofauna. This study aimed to survey the fish fauna of three streams of the Lower Paranapanema River basin, state of Paraná, Brazil (Capim, Tenente and Centenário streams). The sampling included 3,167 specimens belonging to five orders, 17 families and 56 species. The streams presented differences in species richness (Centenário Stream: 41 species; Tenente Stream: 33 species; Capim Stream: 30 species). Two species occurred at all collection sites (Astyanax bockmanni and Hypostomus ancistroides). Nine non-native species were recorded, four of them found exclusively in the Centenário Stream.

“…For many species, the difference between their optimal thermal preference and the temperature where lethality or severe functional impairment occurs (critical upper temperature) is only a few degrees (Jobling, 1981). Nonetheless, abundant evidence suggests that distributions of fishes are often determined by a combination of several physicochemical variables, including temperature, and ecological interactions (e.g., Blanchet, Helmus, Brosse, & Grenouillet, 2014;Braaten & Guy, 1999;Brazner et al, 2005;Carvalho & Tejerina-Garro, 2015;Furlan, Esteves, & Quinaglia, 2013;Jackson, Peres-Neto, & Olden, 2001;Jaramillo-Villa, Maldonado-Ocampo, & Escobar, 2010;Lin, Tsai, Lin, Jong, & Wang, 2014;McCleary & Hassan, 2008;McGarvey, 2011;Mercado-Silva, Lyons, Diaz-Pardo, Navarrete, & Gutierrez-Hernandez, 2012;Murray & Innes, 2009;Rahel & Hubert, 1991;Smith & Kraft, 2005;Stevenson, Schnell, & Black, 1974;Troia & Gido, 2013).…”

Environmental gradients determine the distributions of individual species, which, in turn, shape patterns of species assemblage across those gradients. We used species distribution models to study the assemblage of fish species along the three mainstem rivers in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) in Alberta, which flow in parallel across an 800‐km longitudinal span and down 1400 m from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains of North America. We estimated the similarity of species assemblages along each river to identify general patterns of species assemblage associated with temperature and five other physiochemical variables. Mean July water temperature, which ranged from <11°C at high elevation to >21°C at low elevation, was strongly associated with the presence–absence of most species in the SSRB. We found that high turnover occurred at two locations along the longitudinal gradient: where mean July water temperature was approximately 15°C and where mean July water temperature was approximately 19 or 20°C. There was also an increase in species richness at lower elevations where water temperatures were higher. Models incorporating forecasted changes in water temperature with climate change will likely provide accurate predictions of changes in the diversity and distribution of riverine fish communities across topographically heterogeneous landscapes.
