“…Rarely, they can also be found in beta-mesosaprobic environments (Hellawell 1986, Hilsenhoff 1988, Kazancı 2001a, Bauernfeind & Humpesch 2001, Bauernfeind et al, 2002. Therefore, they constitute an important group used as clean water indicators in water quality studies (Kazancı et al, 2014).…”

TThis study was carried out in 20 different localities in the spring, summer and autumn periods in 2019 in order to determine the Ephemeroptera fauna of the Ceyhan Basin and to reveal its relationship with some physicochemical parameters. As a result, 971 specimens were examined and 17 species belonging to six families were identified. There is no data on the given taxa in the Ceyhan basin so all taxa are new records for the Ceyhan Basin. According to the Shannon-Wiener (H) diversity index, the highest and lowest diversity values were determined, respectively, in the spring at stations 7 th (1.456) and 6 th (0.173), in the summer at stations 20 th (1.311) and 13 th (0.341), and in the autumn at stations 15 th (1.102) and 8 th (0.457). According to Evenness (E) values, the most homogeneous stations are the 3 rd (0.963), 7 th (0.973) and 1 st (0.945) stations in the same seasonal order, and the stations with the least homogeneity are the 16 th (0.529), 16 th (0.659) and 8 th (0.527) stations. According to cluster analyses, the highest similarities were observed between stations 3 rd and 5 th in addition to stations 9 th ,14 th ,17 th ,18 th and 19 th with 100% percentage. Based on the physicochemical parameters measured in accordance with the Surface Water Quality Regulation, the water quality classes of the stations were in high quality water (Class I) and less contaminated (Class II) water. Canonical correspondence analysis was applied to reveal the relationships between Ephemeroptera taxa and physicochemical parameters.

“…The increase in the input of sediments into the stream beds during flood pulses may result in siltation, in particular considering the volume and intensity of precipitation in the tropical zone (Cunico & Gubiani 2017). This impact may be further reinforced by the loss of the riparian vegetation, which acts as a buffer (Juen et al 2016), leading to a reduction in the complexity of the habitat and the availability of niches, an increase in local temperature (Sensolo et al 2012), and a reduction in water quality and aquatic biodiversity (Vendruscolo et al 2008, Souza et al 2011, Hepp et al 2013, Kazanci et al 2017.…”

Effects of Environmental Variables and Habitat Integrity on the Structure of the Aquatic Insect Communities of Streams in the Cerrado-Caatinga Ecotone in Northeastern Brazil

et al. 2020

Alterations in the environmental gradients of streams have a direct influence on the structure of the insect communities of the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT), which are extremely sensitive to changes in habitat. The present study evaluated how habitat integrity in streams influence the composition of EPT genera, by testing three hypotheses: (i) the composition of the EPT genera is modified along the gradient of environmental disturbance; (ii) the composition of the EPT genera is more homogeneous in gradients with a higher degree of anthropogenic disturbance, and (iii) the greatest degree of environmental disturbance along the gradient results in the reduction of the richness and abundance of EPT genera. The study focused on 14 tributaries of the middle Itapecuru River, within an area of ecotone between the Brazilian Cerrado and Caatinga biomes. Data on the structure and physicochemical traits of the streams were collected between September 2014 and July 2015, a period that covers both the dry and rainy seasons in the study region. The results of the present study indicate that the composition of the EPT genera is modified in accordance with the variation in the habitat integrity, although, in contrast with expectations, more impacted areas had a more heterogeneous composition than undisturbed ones. The areas with more integrated landscapes contribute positively to the richness and abundance of EPT genera of the streams of the Cerrado-Caatinga ecotone. Given this, habitat integrity provide an important predictor of EPT diversity in the streams of the Cerrado-Caatinga ecotone.

“…In the current investigation, we utilize multivariate examination strategy Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) to establish the community structure of mayflies and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to find the relationship between stations and environmental parameters. Multivariate investigation strategies have just been utilized to consider the connection between benthic macroinvertebrate community and ecological factors in all around the globe from the previous studies (Kazanci et al, 2017;Duran and Akyildiz, 2011). As Palni and Cardamom hills belongs to the southern part of the Western Ghats, which is one of the eight hottest hotspots in the globe (Myers et al, 2000) and no work had to be done in the population dynamics and community structure of mayflies in this part of Western Ghats, so this work aims to assess the relationship between mayfly community and environmental factors in Palni and Cardamom hills of Western Ghats.…”

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the community structure of the order Ephemeroptera in the Southern Western Ghats ecoregion along with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) from 2017 to 2018. Ecological parameters estimated at each collecting site were pH, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, hardness and alkalinity. This research investigation was carried out in 30 streams of Palni and Cardamom hills in Western Ghats of Southern India. With PCA examination, the sites like Dhobikana, Fern hill and Poomparai of Palni hills are plotted far apart and are not supported by the ecological parameters like in the other sites. Dhobikana of Palni hills is exceptionally contaminated in light of the fact that dhobis are associated with washing garments so cleanser contamination is prevalent around there. In cardamom hills, Santhamparai near bridge and Nayamakkadu are left far apart indicating they are not supported by physico-chemical parameters, mainly due to pollution. From to the CCA results, it is discovered that Baetis species favor β-mesosaprobic habitat and Indialis badia inclines toward high altitudinal region. From the outcomes, it is presumed that pH, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, hardness and alkalinity were the essential components administering the mayfly community and structure.
