“…La composición de géneros de estos lagos es comúnmente reportada para ecosistemas acuáticos de montaña. Chironomus, Dicrotendipes, Tanytarsus, Parametriocnemus, Pseudosmittia, Ablabesmyia y Labrundinia, son géneros de amplia distribución altitudinal y han sido encontrados tanto en ecosistemas de zonas bajas como de alta montaña tropical (Henriques-Oliveira et al, 2003;Catalan et al, 2006;Sanseverino & Nessimian, 2008;Silva et al, 2008;Prat, González-Trujillo, & Ospina-Torres, 2014;Butakka et al, 2014a;Butakka et al, 2014b). Alotanypus es un género reportado especialmente en lagos de alta montaña y ríos altoandinos de la región Neotropical (Prat et al, 2011;Prat et al, 2014;Silva, 2016).…”

Tropical high mountain lakes show unique environmental conditions where chironomids play an important role in ecosystem functioning. The characteristics of these environments could favor diet overlap and therefore a high interspecific competition. This study described the dietary habits of chironomid genera, identified whether the dietary habits were specialized or generalist, and analyzed the diet overlap in the genera. Chironomidae larvae were collected from four lakes of the Chingaza paramo during the dry season, between April and May of 2 016. The feeding habits of larvae were evaluated by analyzing gut contents following standard methods. Each genus was assigned to trophic guilds (carnivore, detritivore and algivore) and the diet overlap was estimated using the Pinka's index. A total of 1 003 individuals were collected and nine genera were identified. Larvae consumed mainly fine particulate organic matter (FPOM), algae, macrophyte fragments, macroinvertebrates, and animal tissues. FPOM was the main feeding resource of detritivores. The analysis of diets showed a high affinity of each genus for a single trophic guild and most of the genera were generalist in the use of resources. For all lakes, high levels of diet overlap were observed among genera and trophic guilds, mainly among detritivores. Our results suggested that Chironomidae larvae of these lakes presented well differentiated trophic habits, and showed a moderate diet overlap within detritivores and carnivores.

“…El éxito de adaptación de los quironómidos a diferentes hábitats es debido al amplio límite de exploración trófica y aspectos microespaciales del ambiente (Dimitriadis & Cranston, 2007;Butakka, Gomes, & Takeda, 2014b). Las larvas de quironómidos son consideradas oportunistas omnívoras, que ingieren una gran variedad de alimentos (Cummins & Klug, 1979).…”

“…The flow rate affects species diversity and abundance, both directly and indirectly by changing substrate composition, water chemistry, and the frequency of nutrients and organic particle delivery (Crowder & Diplas, 2000; Hart & Finelli, 1999; Kiernan & Moyle, 2012). Many scientists have observed that even relatively uniform animal groups, such as Simulium (Butakka et al, 2014), have different existing priorities depending on changes in water velocity (Hynes & Hynes, 1970; Wesenberg‐Lund, 1943). Similar survey in Dahuli Ganga River exhibited inverse relationship with the density of macroinvertebrate whereas significant correlation was observed with the diversity (Sharma et al, 2004).…”

Streams and rivers are the major source of drinking water and irrigation in many developing countries. Stream health is a major criterion and regulator of the health of its dependents (invertebrates, aquatic flora, fishes, animals, and humans). For the sustenance of a balanced ecosystem, a mutual existence between flora and fauna along with other abiotic factors is a prerequisite. Benthic fauna lying on the riverbed serves as a food source for fish, larger insects, birds, etc. Nowadays, most freshwater bodies are getting polluted through various anthropogenic activities like mining, land‐use practices (fertilizers and insecticides), industrial effluent, and sewage inlet. Due to the water contamination, there have been observed changes in the physicochemical parameters of the water. The macroinvertebrate species being sensitive to these changes play an important role not only in determining the health of the water body but also in regulating the ecosystem. After review, it was observed that order like Diptera dominated in various locations, comprising of family Ceratopogonidae and Chironomidae, followed by order Trichoptera and Coleoptera. Species belonging to family Baetidae and Chironomidae possess pollution tolerance capabilities; additionally, these species can survive at a wide range of temperatures. Species from families such as Simuliidae showed their existence at varying water velocities. Families like Limnephilidae, Simuliidae, and Glossosomatidae exhibited their survival in fast moving water whereas Notonectidae, Hydrophilidae Gomphidae, Coenagrionidae, Libellulidae, Aeshnidae, and Dryopidae indicated species of low waterflow. Species of the family Tipulidae have been related to areas of high conductivity, whereas Gomphidae, Dryopidae, and Glossomatidae as species of low conductivity. Hydrophilidae and Notonectidae dominated high temperature areas. The present study will put forth before the government, current scenario of macroinvertebrate structure depending on the different characteristics of the water. This will help in regulating and controlling water pollution.

The river is one of the important water sources and at this time the river water quality has decreased.The type of land use around the river is thought to have a significant contribution to river water quality. This research was conducted to determine of correlation between the type of land use and water quality in Rembangan River, Jember Regency.The study was carried out at four stations that passed through secondary forests, coffee plantations, rice fields and residential housing. The data of biodiversity and density of plants and physical-chemical parameters of river water were noted, and benthic macroinvertebratessamples were collected at each station. Data of biodiversity and density plants were used to determine of environmental services index (ESI) values. Benthic macroinvertebrates samples were identifiedat the family level, and after that the tolerance score and the abundance of each family was determined. The last two data were analyzed to determine of Family Biotic Index (FBI) values.The value of ESI, physico-chemical parameters of river waterand FBI were analyzedto determine the relationship between these variables by using Pearson correlation analysis (α < 0.05).The research result revealed that the type of land use (ESI) was significantly related to the biological quality of river water (FBI) as indicated by the p value > 0.05. The correlation characteristic is negative and very strong (R = 0.886). High ESI values indicate that the diversity and carbon sequestration of plant community around the river are in good condition and vice versa. Low HBI values indicate good river water quality and vice versa. Based on this research, each land use type must provide space for the natural growth of the plant communityto maintain the quality of river water to remain good. Keywords: river, benthic macroinvertebrates, land use, water quality, ESI, HBI.
