“…Thus, mayflies in warmer, subtropical or tropical regions tend to be multivoltine, while those of temperate regions at higher latitude tend to be univoltine or semivoltine with seasonal traits (Clifford, 1982;Brittain, 1990) and similar patterns occur with altitude (Lee et al, 2008). As we mentioned, our study site is a typically cold headwater stream, therefore A. torrens and A. peruvianus display univoltine life cycles at this particular latitude and elevation in Patagonia.…”

“…Mayfly production was calculated using the size frequency method (Benke, 1984) for comparison purposes, as this is the most used method in relevant literature (Gonzá lez et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2008;Winterbourn et al, 2008). Larvae were assigned to 7 head capsule width groups for analysis.…”

“…However, all the species investigated at the papers had mutivoltine life cycles. As stated by Lee et al (2008) estimated annual production of mayflies in temperate streams depends on species size and voltinism. In fact, A. torrens and A. peruvianus production values were comparable to those reported for mayflies from the Northern Hemisphere as the univoltine species Ephemera spilosa Navá s (Dudgeon, 1996), Habrophlebia lauta (Eaton) and Habroleptoides confusa (Sartori and Jacob) (Gonzá lez et al, 2003), and the fast growing cohort of the multivoltine E. orientalis McLachlan (Lee et al, 2008).…”

“…Knowledge of the life histories of Patagonian mayflies is poor compared to that of the of Northern Hemisphere species (e.g. Sweeney and Vannote, 1981;Alba-Tercedor, 1990;Giberson and Rosenberg, 1992;Richardson, 2001;Erba et al, 2003;Gonzá lez et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2008) and also to that of other countries in the Southern Hemisphere (e.g. Melo et al, 2002;Winterbourn, 2003;Winterbourn et al, 2008).…”

a b s t r a c tLife history descriptors of mayfly species are increasingly used in ecological assessment studies as indicator of environmental stress and also to evaluate the potential effects of climate change. We investigated the life history, annual production and competition of two congeneric mayflies: Andesiops torrens and Andesiops peruvianus in a Patagonian mountain headwater stream (La Hoya). From July 2004 to June 2005 a monthly sampling was conducted at riffle areas using a Surber net. Mean density of A. torrens ranged from 26 to 1080 ind m À 2 whereas that of A. peruvianus ranged from 7 to 629 ind m À 2 . The annual production and P/B ratios of A. torrens (0.18 g m À 2 , 3.90) and A. peruvianus (0.11 g m À 2 , 3.35) at La Hoya stream were low, but within the expected values for cold water environments at high elevations. The two species had a similar larval life history with small larvae predominating in late summer and early autumn, middle size larvae being represented throughout winter, and mature larvae and emergence occurring in summer.As a result A. torrens and A. peruvianus showed moderately synchronized univoltine life cycles. The temporal interspecific overlap on both density and biomass was very low. This suggests that these two species of grazers reduce the competition for resources by having a marked temporal segregation.

“…Nevertheless, the degree day concept clearly expresses and predicts that the expected duration of aquatic insect growth and development is closely linked to temperature and it has been widely used in studies of aquatic insect ecology (e.g. Gillooly & Dodson, 2000; Nesterovitch & Zwick, 2003; Lee, Hwang & Bae, 2008).…”

The chironomid‐temperature relationship: expression in nature and palaeoenvironmental implications

Fossils of chironomid larvae (non-biting midges) preserved in lake sediments are well-established palaeotemperature indicators which, with the aid of numerical chironomid-based inference models (transfer functions), can provide quantitative estimates of past temperature change. This approach to temperature reconstruction relies on the strong relationship between air and lake surface water temperature and the distribution of individual chironomid taxa (species, species groups, genera) that has been observed in different climate regions (arctic, subarctic, temperate and tropical) in both the Northern and Southern hemisphere. A major complicating factor for the use of chironomids for palaeoclimate reconstruction which increases the uncertainty associated with chironomid-based temperature estimates is that the exact nature of the mechanism responsible for the strong relationship between temperature and chironomid assemblages in lakes remains uncertain. While a number of authors have provided state of the art overviews of fossil chironomid palaeoecology and the use of chironomids for temperature reconstruction, few have focused on examining the ecological basis for this approach. Here, we review the nature of the relationship between chironomids and temperature based on the available ecological evidence. After discussing many of the surveys describing the distribution of chironomid taxa in lake surface sediments in relation to temperature, we also examine evidence from laboratory and field studies exploring the effects of temperature on chironomid physiology, life cycles and behaviour. We show that, even though a direct influence of water temperature on chironomid development, growth and survival is well described, chironomid palaeoclimatology is presently faced with the paradoxical situation that the relationship between chironomid distribution and temperature seems strongest in relatively deep, thermally stratified lakes in temperate and subarctic regions in which the benthic chironomid fauna lives largely decoupled from the direct influence of air and surface water temperature. This finding suggests that indirect effects of temperature on physical and chemical characteristics of lakes play an important role in determining the distribution of lake-living chironomid larvae. However, we also demonstrate that no single indirect mechanism has been identified that can explain the strong relationship between chironomid distribution and temperature in all regions and datasets presently available. This observation contrasts with the previously published hypothesis that climatic effects on lake nutrient status and productivity may be largely responsible for the apparent correlation between chironomid assemblage distribution and temperature. We conclude our review by summarizing the implications of our findings for chironomid-based palaeoclimatology and by pointing towards further avenues of research necessary to improve our mechanistic understanding of the chironomid-temperature relationship.

Machine‐learning‐based detection of adaptive divergence of the stream mayfly Ephemera strigata populations

Adaptive divergence is a key mechanism shaping the genetic variation of natural populations. A central question linking ecology with evolutionary biology is how spatial environmental heterogeneity can lead to adaptive divergence among local populations within a species. In this study, using a genome scan approach to detect candidate loci under selection, we examined adaptive divergence of the stream mayfly Ephemera strigata in the Natori River Basin in northeastern Japan. We applied a new machine‐learning method (i.e., random forest) besides traditional distance‐based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) to examine relationships between environmental factors and adaptive divergence at non‐neutral loci. Spatial autocorrelation analysis based on neutral loci was employed to examine the dispersal ability of this species. We conclude the following: (a) E. strigata show altitudinal adaptive divergence among the populations in the Natori River Basin; (b) random forest showed higher resolution for detecting adaptive divergence than traditional statistical analysis; and (c) separating all markers into neutral and non‐neutral loci could provide full insight into parameters such as genetic diversity, local adaptation, and dispersal ability.
