“…Furthermore, zooplankton organisms present diverse trophic and spatial niches that make them more resilient to anthropogenic pressures and can favor them in more degraded environments [ 67 ], which could lead to a constant composition of functional guilds on a spatial scale. Gomes et al [ 14 ] analyzed zooplankton composition in the south Amazon in streams inserted in a gradient of forest cover and also did not find a relationship between spatial variables and the zooplankton community, reaffirming the need to further investigate other variables besides forest cover.…”

“…Deforestation, the input of nutrients, agrochemicals, and mining residuals are examples of threats to the species diversity in Amazon streams [ 7 , 8 ]. Changes in spatial and local physical-chemical variables of the land and water promoted by land use are followed by changes in the biological groups living in streams, including insects, fish [ 11 ], macrophytes [ 12 , 13 ], and zooplankton [ 14 ].…”

“…Hisonotus species feed on periphyton, with a diet composed of diatoms, Chlorophyceae, and organic matter (Casatti 2002, Teresa & Casatti 2012, and numerous studies have shown that the availability of periphyton in streams is dependent on riparian coverage and may influence the growth of loricariid fish species with this type of diet (Bojsen & Barriga 2002, Teresa & Casatti 2012, Fernandes et al 2013, Gomes et al 2020). Therefore, it is possible that the degradation of the vegetation cover has a negative influence on the ecological interactions of the streams studied here.…”

“…Different biological groups are used in freshwater ecosystem biomonitoring programs due to species differences in terms of their sensitivity to pollution and response time to contamination [17]. The various assemblages used include: cyanobacteria, diatoms, and microbial communities [15,[17][18][19]; fungal communities [20]; biofilms [14]; phytoplankton [21]; algae [13]; zooplankton [16,22]; macroinvertebrates [7,23,24]; fish [25][26][27]. For example, microbial communities may respond to sudden disturbances by exhibiting resilience, enabling rapid recovery toward pre-existing ecosystem functions [15,18].…”

“…For example, microbial communities may respond to sudden disturbances by exhibiting resilience, enabling rapid recovery toward pre-existing ecosystem functions [15,18]. Due to the relatively short life cycles of zooplankton organisms, these communities respond quickly to environmental changes of both natural and anthropogenic origin [22]. Macroinvertebrates are recognized as one of the most suitable organisms for biomonitoring as they have low mobility, display a wide range of responses to contaminants, and are in contact with both sediments and the water column, thereby being exposed to pollutants in both compartments [10].…”
