“…Agrochemicals generally used in the plantations may affect the dynamics of organisms sensitive to changes in habitat quality, such as Mnesarete aenea (Odonata) and Cylindrostethus palmaris (Heteroptera). These show higher levels of intoxication (detoxification response: Glutathione S‐transferase activity) in the plantations than in forests (Mendes et al., 2020). Fertilizers that increase potassium and phosphorus have been associated with losses of sensitive taxa, especially macroinvertebrates (Chellaiah & Yule, 2018b).…”

The expansion of oil palms has led to land‐use change and deforestation in the tropics, affecting biodiversity. While the impacts of the crop on terrestrial biodiversity have been extensively reviewed, the effects on freshwater biodiversity remain relatively unexplored. We reviewed the research assessing the impacts of forest‐to‐oil palm conversion on freshwater biota, and the mitigating effect of riparian buffers on these impacts. First, we search for studies comparing taxon richness, abundance, and community composition of macroinvertebrates, amphibians, and fish in streams in forests (primary and disturbed) and oil palm plantations with and without riparian buffers. Then, we conducted a meta‐analysis to quantify the overall effect of the land‐use change on the three taxonomic groups. We used 29 studies, as these alone fulfilled the inclusion criteria. On aggregate, across the three taxonomic groups, the plantations lacking buffers hosted 44% and 19% fewer stream taxa than primary and disturbed forests. However, when plantations retained buffers, these differences were reduced to 24% and no difference, respectively. In contrast, stream community composition differed between forests and plantations regardless of the presence of riparian buffers. These differences were attributed to agrochemical use and altered environmental conditions in the plantations including temperature changes, worsened water conditions, microhabitat loss, and food and shelter depletion. On aggregate, abundance did not differ among land uses, as increases in generalist species offset the population decline of vulnerable forest specialists in the plantation. Our study reveals significant impacts of forest‐to‐oil palm conversion on freshwater biota, particularly concerning taxon richness and composition (not aggregate abundance). While preserving riparian buffers within the plantations can mitigate the loss of various aquatic species, it cannot conserve primary forest communities. Therefore, safeguarding primary forests from the oil‐palm expansion is crucial, and further research is needed addressing riparian buffers as a promising mitigation strategy in agricultural areas.This article is protected by copyright.

“…A detailed study with Belostoma elegans found that lipid metabolism and increased antioxidant enzyme activity (superoxide dismutase, catalase) are suitable biomarkers of organic matter pollution, and sex-specific differences were also found in lactate concentration (Lavarias et al, 2017 ). The glutathione S-transferase activity of Cylindrostethus palmaris was higher in oil palm plantations than in forest streams (Mendes et al, 2020 ). As molecular methods become more straightforward and cheaper, they will become more widespread in practice.…”

As water pollution poses an increasing risk worldwide, it is timely to assess the achievements of the aquatic macroinvertebrate ecotoxicology to provide a sound basis for the discipline’s future and support the development of biomonitoring. Aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Nepomorpha, Gerromorpha) are ubiquitous in almost all water types, sometimes in high densities, and play a significant role in organic material turnover and energy flow. Nevertheless, they are ignored in the water pollution biomonitoring schemes. Here, based on 300 papers, we review and evaluate the effects of chemical pesticides, microorganism-derived pesticides, insecticides of plant origin, heavy metals, eutrophication, salinisation and light pollution which are summarised for the first time. Our review encompasses the results of 100 laboratory and 39 semi-field/field experiments with 47 pesticides and 70 active ingredients. Pyrethroids were found to be more toxic than organochlorine, organophosphate and neonicotinoid insecticides to water bugs, like other macroinvertebrate groups. Additionally, in 10 out of 17 cases, the recommended field concentration of the pesticide was higher than the LC50 values, indicating potential hazards to water bugs. The recommended field concentrations of pesticides used in mosquito larvae control were found non-toxic to water bugs. As very few replicated studies are available, other findings on the effects of pesticides cannot be generalised. The microorganism-derived pesticide Bti appears to be safe when used at the recommended field concentration. Data indicates that plant-derived pesticides are safe with a high degree of certainty. We have identified three research areas where water bugs could be better involved in water biomonitoring. First, some Halobates spp. are excellent, and Gerris spp. are promising sentinels for Cd contamination. Second, Micronecta and, to a certain extent, Corixidae species composition is connected to and the indicator of eutrophication. Third, the species composition of the Corixidae is related to salinisation, and a preliminary method to quantify the relationship is already available. Our review highlights the potential of water bugs in water pollution monitoring.

“…Brito et al (2020), trabalhando em áreas com diferentes gradientes de cobertura vegetal no município de Paragominas verificaram se haveria espécies indicadoras de perda de floresta em escala local e regional (bacia hidrográfica). Dentre os macroinvertebrados indicadores, eles encontraram associações de EPT às seguintes condições: a) em escala regional: Campylocia, Miroculis e Zelusia (Ephemeroptera), Anacroneuria, Macrogynoplax (Plecoptera) e Em 2020 foi realizado o primeiro e único estudo com biomarcadores ecotoxicológicos utilizando insetos aquáticos do Estado do Pará (Mendes et al 2020a). A espécie de Ephemeroptera C. anceps foi analisada juntamente com uma espécie de Odonata e outra de Heteroptera, em riachos impactados por plantação de palma de dendê.…”

“…Avaliações em menores níveis de organizações biológica, como molecular e morfológico, tornam possível detectar efeitos adversos à saúde dos organismos mais precocemente (Matthews et al 1982). Assim, o efeito das alterações no hábitat pode gerar danos macromoleculares nas espécies que, por sua vez, podem refletir em mudanças dos parâmetros que usamos, como abundância e presença/ ausência das espécies no ambiente (Mendes et al 2020a). Porém, infelizmente, avaliações de riscos ecológicos para comunidades aquáticas, sob uma perspectiva ecotoxicológica, ainda são escassas (Adams et al 2021), principalmente para insetos aquáticos na Amazônia (Mendes et al 2020a).…”

Esta revisão teve como objetivo avaliar o histórico da utilização de alguns grupos de Insetos Aquáticos como bioindicadores de alteração ambiental no estado do Pará, assim como discutir as perspectivas futuras dessa temática à luz das novas tecnologias. Verificou-se consideráveis avanços no uso das Ordens Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Heteroptera e Odonata para monitorar a qualidade ambiental de riachos impactados por diversas atividades antrópicas. Os impactos ambientais mais proeminentes são oriundos de atividades como pecuária, agricultura, mineração, extração de madeira e urbanização. Além dos tradicionais métodos de estudos de espécies indicadoras, constatou-se que o uso de mudanças na estrutura das comunidades, em facetas como a riqueza de espécies, abundância de indivíduos e diversidade beta para monitorar a qualidade ambiental foi eficiente. Em perspectivas futuras, precisa-se conhecer melhor a biologia das espécies para que aspectos comportamentais e funcionais sejam utilizados conjuntamente com as medidas taxonômicas tradicionais para o monitoramento ambiental. Isso possibilitará uma visão mais completa de como os ecossistemas aquáticos são afetados, permitindo o planejamento de medidas mais eficazes de monitoramento e de mitigação dos impactos provocados pelas alterações ambientais na biodiversidade aquática, em especial dos insetos.
