Influence of Environmental Heterogeneity on the Structure of Testate Amoebae (Protozoa, Rhizopoda) Assemblages in the Plankton of the Upper Paraná River Floodplain, Brazil

Abstract: In freshwater environments, testate amoebae are usually found associated with macrophytes and sediments and many studies have suggested that their occurrence in plankton samples is accidental. This implies that predictable patterns detected in planktonic assemblages should not be observed in testate amoebae assemblages. This hypothesis was tested in this study. Plankton samples were collected from different environments in the Upper Paraná River floodplain. Results show that patterns in species composition and… Show more

“…The hydrosedimentological regime, characterized by two phases (potamophase and limnophase), is the main factor driving the material and energy flow as well as the organization of aquatic communities in such ecosystems (Neiff, 1990;Junk et al, 1989). Moreover, the degree of connectivity of floodplain lakes to the main rivers has also gained attention as an important controlling factor in structuring aquatic communities in floodplain systems (Tockner et al, 1998;Ward et al, 1999;Bini et al, 2003;Velho et al, 2003;Alves et al, 2005;Thomaz et al, 2007;José de Paggi and Paggi, 2008;Bonecker et al, 2009).…”

“…In recent years, there have been a large number of studies on the fauna and ecology of testate amoebae. The results from those studies suggested that variation in testate amoebae faunal co~nposition is most commonly associated with hydrological conditions (Bobrov et al 1999), pH ranges (Foissner 1994, Booth 2001, the habitat structure , and enviroilmental heterogeneity (Velho et al 2003). More recently, testate amoebae have been widely used as indicators in biostratigraphy, paleoecology, and paleolimnology (Beyens and Meisterfeld 2001, Charman 2001, Patterson and Kutnar 2002, Bobrov et al 2004.…”

“…De acordo com SCHWIND et al,(2013), atualmente linhas de pesquisas tem sido desenvolvidas seguindo três correntes específicas: primeiro correlacionando morfologia e biometria com ecologia das espécies (TODOROV, 2002), levando a uma segunda linha de pesquisa, que relaciona espécies em uma abordagem ecológica, centrada na dinâmica de populações (VELHO et al, 2003;ALVES et al, 2008, LANSAC-TÔHA et al, 2014 e, uma terceira abordagem voltada para o uso de técnicas moleculares a fim de resolver questões taxonômicas diferentes morfotipos com base em análises moleculares (GILBERT et al, 2003;HEGER et al, 2010.

“…Consiste na produção de uma nova teca sem ocorrer a divisão nuclear, deste modo o organismo (a célula) migra para a nova teca abandonando a velha teca. Também há a ocorrência de formação de uma nova teca sem ocorrer a divisão nuclear e a migração do corpo celular, este fenômeno foi observado em aproximadamente 1% dos indivíduos, (HEGNER, 1919 1959;MEDIOLI & SCOTT, 1983FINLAY et al, 1996;CHARMAN, 1999;CRUZ, 2004;GOMES E SOUZA, 2008 VELHO et al, (1999VELHO et al, ( , 2003, LANSAC-TÔHA et al (2004), LEIPNITZ et al, (2006, ALVES et al, (2007ALVES et al, ( , 2012 DULEBA et al, 2004DULEBA et al, , 2005SEMENSATTO et al, 2004;ALVES et al, 2008;LEÃO et al, 2009;e LEIPNITZ et al, 2014) .…”
