Factors structuring the spatial distribution of Chironomidae larvae community in the floodplain of the northern Pantanal, Brazil

Abstract: Aim: In order to identify the factors structuring the spatial distribution of the Chironomidae community, we analyzed the effects of water and sediment characteristics, flood duration and type of phytophysiognomic unit on the taxa composition of this community. Métodos: O estudo foi realizado em 26 parcelas do Sítio de Amostragem de Longa Duração (SALD), localizado em uma área sazonalmente inundável na parte norte do Pantanal (Brasil). The study was conducted at 26 plots of the Long-Term Sampling Site, located… Show more

“…Polypedilum is often indicated as tolerant to pollutants, such as diffuse contamination arising from agricultural activities (Macdonald and Taylor, 2006). This genus is cosmopolitan, comprising species with multiple dietary habits (Merritt et al, 2008), including tolerant to a broad range of environmental conditions species (Silva et al, 2013). Polypedilum immatures are easily found in many types of substrates and sediments and have great adaptability (Serpa-Filho et al, 2007).…”

“…Além disso, uma fase favorece a outra, à medida que, por exemplo, as espécies vegetais que se desenvolveram na fase seca e que morreram durante a inundação fornecerão nutrientes e sais à água como resultado da decomposição desta matéria orgânica submersa, os quais contribuirão para o desenvolvimento das espécies vegetais da fase aquática subsequente e vice-versa. Essa dinâmica das águas promove a dinâmica de organismos aquáticos HAMILTON 1998;CALHEIROS 2003;ANDRADE 2011;SANTOS et al, 2013), além de modular também a dinâmica da flora e da fauna terrestres (ALHO, 2008(ALHO, , 2011aALHO et al, 2011;SCREMIN-DIAS et al, 2011;POTT et al, 2011ab;MOURÃO et al, 2013).…”
