Relationships between the spatial distribution of oligochaetes (Annelida, Clitellata) and environmental variables in a temperate estuary system of South America (Río de la Plata, Argentina)

Abstract: The oligochaete assemblage on the Argentine coast of the Rı´o de la Plata estuary was sampled seasonally within environments having different types of disturbances. Three habitats were sampled: sediments free of vegetation, sediments within bullrush stands and substrates with Limnoperna fortunei. The species richness, evenness and ShannonÁWiener diversity values were different among those habitats. The only dominant species (according to the Kownacki index) was Nais variabilis. Mean density values varied betwe… Show more

“…Organic matter, ammonium and phosphates were positively correlated with the mean oligochaete abundance, but not with the granulometry. The canonical correspondence analysis (41.2% cumulative variance) indicated that the oligochaetes distributed along both an eutrophication-pollution gradient and a turbidity-conductivity gradient (Armendariz et al, 2011). Increasing temperatures due to climate change were found to influence abundance and timing of species in numerous ways (Burgmer et al, 2007).…”

“…For example, the presence and abundance of oligochaetes can often be indicative of different levels of organic pollution and/or eutrophication (Verdonschot and Ter Braak, 1994;Lin and Yo, 2008;Armendáriz et al, 2011).…”

“…Los macroinvertebrados bentónicos han sido utilizados de manera creciente para monitorear cambios físicos y químicos en la calidad del agua producidos por las actividades humanas (Resh et al, 1995;Wright et al, 1995;Barbour et al, 1999;Gómez & Rodrigues Capítulo, 2001), empleando descriptores estructurales y funcionales del complejo bentónico, y adaptando índices bióticos basados en la sensibilidad y tolerancia de los organismos. Los estudios previos sobre la fauna bentónica del Río de la Plata se han referido principalmente a los moluscos costeros (entre ellos se destacan los trabajos de Ituarte, 1981Ituarte, , 1985Darrigran & Maroñas, 1989; Darrigran, 1992 a y b; Pastorino et al, 1993;Scarabino, 1999 (Rodrigues Capítulo et al, 1997y 2003César et al, 2000;Gómez & Rodrigues Capítulo, 2001;Cortelezzi et al, 2002Cortelezzi et al, , 2007Giberto et al, 2004Giberto et al, , 2007Ocon et al, 2008, Armendáriz et al, 2011Spaccesi & Rodrigues Capítulo, 2012), distribución del fitoplancton y diatomeas bentónicas (Gómez & Bauer, 1997y 2000Gómez & Licursi, 2001;Gómez et al, 2009, Licursi et al, 2010 y diversos parámetros relacionados con la calidad de sus aguas (AA, AGOSBA, ILPLA, SHIN, 1997;Bazán & Arraga, 1993). Asimismo, pueden citarse investigaciones orientadas al estudio de los macroinvertebrados como indicadores de la calidad de sus aguas (Gómez & Rodrigues Capítulo, 2001;Paggi et al, 2006) y el desarrollo de índices para la evaluación de la calidad del hábitat (Gómez & Cochero, 2013) e integridad biótica (Gómez et al, 2012) (Fig.…”

“…Los sedimentos superficiales de la zona intermareal consisten principalmente de arena fina y muy fina (62,5-250 µm), pero en sitios con mayor contenido de materia orgánica como consecuencia del impacto antropogénico a lo largo de la costa, predominan las fracciones de limo y arcilla (Gómez et al, 2009;Armendáriz et al, 2011).…”
