“…The La Choza stream (Buenos Aires province, Argentina) is part of the upper Reconquista River basin. The watershed of this stream has a surface of 15,200 ha and features intense agricultural activity, with 64% of the area being used for cattle raising, 34% for extensive agriculture, and the remaining 2% divided between poultry farming and urban use (Rodrigues Capítulo et al, 2010).…”

“…For analysis of the gut contents of the macroinvertebrates, the following taxa were selected: the Chironomidae (Diptera), Diplodon delodontus (Lamarck, 1919) (Bivalvia: Hyriidae), Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) (Gastropoda: Ampulariidae), Phyllogomphoides joaquini Rodrigues Capítulo, 1992 (Odonata: Gomphidae), and Coenagrionidae sp. 1 (Odonata), because they are commonly found in pampean streams (Ocón & Rodrigues Capítulo, 2004;Rodrigues Capítulo et al, 2010). The Odonata were the most abundant predator group along with Belostoma elegans (Mayer, 1871) (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae), but the latter species, because of its sucking form of alimentation, was discarded for the analysis of gut contents.…”

“…El agua es un recurso finito, esencial para las actividades humanas y para el desarrollo sostenible de sus poblaciones (Bartram y Balance, 1996;Kenney et al, 2009); sin embargo el aumento de la presión humana sobre los recursos hídricos y los efectos del cambio climático probablemente afectarán el estado hidrológico y geomorfológico de los sistemas acuáticos en muchas regiones del mundo (Rodrígues-Capítulo et al, 2010). Las principales perturbaciones que afectan en la actualidad a los sistemas de aguas dulces superficiales son las construcciones de represas, el impacto de las actividades agrícolas y ganaderas, la eliminación de humedales para el avance de áreas cultivables y urbanización, el exceso de nutrientes y el vertido de productos tóxicos de procedencia diversa (Elosegui y Sabater, 2009).…”

“…Because of such intensive human activity, many rivers and streams are impacted by diffuse pollution associated with crop cultivation and cattle raising (Rodrigues Capítulo et al, 2010). However, high nutrient levels have been reported for these streams even in sites with low or moderate cattle-raising and agriculture Iheringia, Série Zoologia, Porto Alegre, 105(2):228-234, 30 de junho de 2015 (Feijoó et al, 1999;Bauer et al, 2002).…”
