“…This station has been affected by point source pollution wherein the high BOD level of 18 mg/L in the summer could exert catastrophic effects on the biota. The results of this study on the effect of pollution on the diversity of macro‐invertebrate communities were consistent with the results of the study conducted by Dou et al (2022) in Lianhuan Lake. In both studies, the environmental variables such as DO, pH,

“…Most studies to date, however, have taken advantage of showcasing natural variations across multiple sites to explore the effect of various environmental drivers on macroinvertebrates diversity (Dong et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ). Studies also have focused on how environmental drivers cause macroinvertebrates biomass change in floodplain lake systems (Dou et al, 2022 ; Li, Jiang, et al, 2019 ; Li, Liu, et al, 2019 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ). However, the links between biodiversity and the environmental factors influencing macroinvertebrates biomass under varying nutrient‐enriched conditions of multiple floodplain lakes have not yet been addressed comprehensively.…”

Biodiversity, which strengthens ecosystem stability, ecosystem function, and ecosystem services, is threatened by anthropogenic perturbation and climate change worldwide. However, despite the study of the role of biodiversity in multiple facets of freshwater ecosystems, the linkages between macroinvertebrates diversity and ecosystem functioning have not yet been well‐assessed in eutrophication gradients of lowland river‐floodplain systems. In this study, we have examined the relationship between macroinvertebrates diversity (species diversity, functional diversity, phylogenetic diversity) and macroinvertebrates biomass across the three typically featured eutrophication gradients: “MACROPHYTE,” “TRANSITION,” and “PHYTOPLANKTON,” of floodplain lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (China). Our results suggest that macroinvertebrates diversity in three different lacustrine conditions, biomass, and the relationship between diversity and biomass varied along eutrophication gradients. Functional richness and variance (divergence in taxon community) were the two important macroinvertebrate diversity indices, which accounted for the largest amount of variation in the biomass (63% in PHYTOPLANKTON lakes and 57% in MACROPHYTE lakes, respectively). We also found that the macrophyte coverage is more important than the relative abundance in maintaining the macroinvertebrates diversity and biomass in lowland Yangtze floodplain lake systems, while the relative abundance of macrophyte would change the BEF relationship. Our results demonstrate the functional performance of Yangtze River lakes, which would change with increased nutrient loading and decreased macrophyte coverage and would highlight the significance of the restoration of macrophytes to reduce nutrient loads.

“…From this, we identified sources that reported taxonomic‐level abundance and nutrient concentrations and met the sampling criteria applied in the other studies (mean depth < 10 m and sampling conducted in offshore zones and warm seasons). These data come from six publications (Atobatele & Ugwumba, 2010; Çamur‐Elipek et al., 2010; Chakrabarty et al., 2010; Dou et al., 2022; Lindegaard & Jónasson, 1979; Takamura et al., 2009).…”

Climate‐associated variation in the drivers of benthic macroinvertebrate species–area relationships across shallow freshwater lakes

The island species–area relationship (ISAR) describes how species richness increases with increasing area of a given island or island‐like habitat, such as freshwater lakes. While the ISAR is one of the most common phenomena observed in ecology, there is variation in both the form of the relationship and its underlying mechanisms. We compiled a global data set of benthic macroinvertebrates from 524 shallow freshwater lakes, ranging from 1 to 293,300 ha in area. We used individual‐based rarefaction to determine the degree to which ISAR was influenced by mechanisms other than passive sampling (larger islands passively sample more individuals from the regional pool and, therefore, have more species than smaller islands), which would bias results away from expected relationships between rarefied species richness (and other measures that capture relative abundances) and lake area. We also examined how climate may alter the shape of the ISARs. We found that both rarefied species richness (the number of species standardized by area or number of individuals) and a measure of evenness emphasizing common species exhibit shallow slopes in relationships with lake area, suggesting that the expected ISARs in these lakes most likely result from passive sampling. While there was considerable variation among ISARs across the investigated lakes, we found an overall positive rarefied ISAR for lakes in warm (i.e. tropical/subtropical) regions (n = 195), and in contrast, an overall negative rarefied ISAR in cool (i.e. north temperate) lakes (n = 329). This suggested that mechanisms beyond passive sampling (e.g. colonization–extinction dynamics and/or heterogeneity) were more likely to operate in warm lakes. One possible reason for this difference is that the area‐dependent intensity of fish predation, which can lead to flatter ISARs, is weaker in warmer relative to cooler lakes. Our study illustrates the importance of understanding both the pattern and potential processes underlying the ISARs of freshwater lakes in different climatic regions. Furthermore, it provides a baseline for understanding how further changes to the ecosystem (i.e. in lake area or climate) might influence biodiversity patterns.
