Abstract:

To investigate the potential causes of changes to bird communities in exurban areas, we examined the relationship between bird and macroinvertebrate communities in exurbanized forest. We randomly located sampling points across a gradient of exurbanization. We used point counts to quantify bird communities and sweep netting, soil cores, pitfalls, and frass collectors to quantify macroinvertebrates. Bird communities had higher richness and abundance in exurban areas compared to undeveloped forests, and lost some species of conservation concern but gained others. The macroinvertebrate community was slightly more abundant in exurban areas, with a slight shift in taxonomic composition. The abundance of macroinvertebrates in soil cores (but not pitfalls) predicted the abundance of ground-foraging birds. The abundance of macroinvertebrates in sweep nets was not associated with the abundance of aerial insectivore birds. Exurbanization therefore appears to change bird and macroinvertebrate communities, but to a lesser extent than agricultural forest fragmentation or intensive urbanization.

Abstract:

The effect of hyporheic exchange on macroinvertebrates is a significant topic in ecohydraulics. A field study was conducted during May and June 2017 to investigate the impacts of magnitude and patterns of hyporheic exchange on the sediment macroinvertebrate community in the Weihe River basin. The results demonstrate that upwelling flows cause resuspension of riverbed sediment, increasing the proportion of swimmer groups (such as Baetidae) in the macroinvertebrate community. However, large resuspension of river bed sediment results in a reduced abundance of macroinvertebrates. By controlling the transport processes of dissolved oxygen (DO), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nutrients, temperature, and different patterns of hyporheic exchange strongly influence the structure of macroinvertebrate communities. Downwelling is more likely to produce rich invertebrate communities than upwelling. The magnitude for the hyporheic flux of 150–200 mm/d was optimal for the macroinvertebrate community in the Weihe River Basin. Above or below this rate results in a decline in community abundance and diversity. We suggest that research is conducted to better understand the effects of hyporheic exchange across bedforms on macroinvertebrate communities. The study supports any activities to preserve the ecological functions and health of rivers dominated by fine-grained sediments.

Abstract:

The ecological effects of ocean acidification (OA) from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) on benthic marine communities are largely unknown. We investigated in situ the consequences of long-term exposure to high CO 2 on coral-reef-associated macroinvertebrate communities around three shallow volcanic CO 2 seeps in Papua New Guinea. The densities of many groups and the number of taxa (classes and phyla) of macroinvertebrates were significantly reduced at elevated CO 2 (425–1100 µatm) compared with control sites. However, sensitivities of some groups, including decapod crustaceans, ascidians and several echinoderms, contrasted with predictions of their physiological CO 2 tolerances derived from laboratory experiments. High CO 2 reduced the availability of structurally complex corals that are essential refugia for many reef-associated macroinvertebrates. This loss of habitat complexity was also associated with losses in many macroinvertebrate groups, especially predation-prone mobile taxa, including crustaceans and crinoids. The transition from living to dead coral as substratum and habitat further altered macroinvertebrate communities, with far more taxa losing than gaining in numbers. Our study shows that indirect ecological effects of OA (reduced habitat complexity) will complement its direct physiological effects and together with the loss of coral cover through climate change will severely affect macroinvertebrate communities in coral reefs.

Abstract:

The aim of this work was to study the influence of the sugar cane cultivation on the macroinvertebrate communities of 11 streams under different land uses. Analysis of the sediment (organic matter contents and metals) and water complemented the study. Ninety six macroinvertebrates taxa were identified, of which 54 were Chironomidae and 42 of other aquatic macroinvertebrates. The streams located in the areas of sugar cane culture and pasture presented low taxa and a great participation of Chironomidae (78% of the total). In contrast, the streams located in the areas with riparian vegetation presented a rich aquatic fauna with less participation of Chironomidae (60% of the total).

Abstract:

Riparian ecosystems contain a complex mosaic of habitat structure types that can support distinct macroinvertebrate communities. Bare-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) are often an integral component of agricultural riparian systems in south-eastern Australia. In these systems, wombats construct large burrow systems and mounds in the stream banks. Wombat mound structures vary markedly from the surrounding landscape and they may influence macroinvertebrate assemblages. We examined this ecosystem-engineering role of wombats as well as the ecological variability within our agricultural riparian study sites on the possible influence on macroinvertebrate assemblages. There were no detectable effects of wombat mounds on the richness or abundance of macroinvertebrates on the soil surface. At the site level, however, macroinvertebrate assemblages were most influenced by litter depth, upper canopy cover, cattle hoof prints and slope. The ecological variables within the study sites strongly affected macroinvertebrate assemblages. These findings reflect an influence of anthropogenic impact on communities of ground-dwelling invertebrates that have been found in other studies. It is possible that a finer resolution of taxa may highlight a unique pattern of macroinvertebrate use of wombat mounds.

Abstract:

Agricultural land use leads to changes in physical and chemical characteristics of sediment that influence macroinvertebrate community diversity and abundance in streams. To the best of our knowledge the joint influence of sediment’s physical and chemical characteristics on stream macroinvertebrates has not been assessed. We measured sediment’s physical and chemical characteristics and sampled macroinvertebrates in eight agricultural headwater streams in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, United States, in 2017 and 2018 to determine the physical and chemical conditions of the sediment, to evaluate the relationships between physical and chemical characteristics of the sediment, and the relationship of macroinvertebrate communities with the sediment’s physical and chemical characteristics. Sediments within most sites were dominated by sand or silt. pH was suitable for macroinvertebrates and nitrate, herbicide, and trace metal concentrations were below concentration levels anticipated to affect macroinvertebrate survival. Linear mixed effect model analysis results indicated that a physical gradient of percent small gravel and percent silt was positively correlated (p < 0.05) with a chemical gradient of potassium concentrations, magnesium concentrations, and percent total nitrogen in the sediments. Our linear mixed effect model analysis results also indicated that Invertebrate Community Index scores were negatively correlated (p < 0.05) with a chemical gradient of simazine and calcium concentrations and were negatively correlated (p < 0.05) with physical gradient of grain size diversity and percent sand. Our results suggest that watershed management plans need to address physical and chemical degradation of sediment to improve macroinvertebrate biotic integrity within agricultural headwater streams in the Midwestern United States.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This study presents the description of the structure of benthic macroinvertebrate communities of the Timiș River (Danube Watershed) in correlation with environmental parameters. The results are based on quantitative benthic macroinvertebrates (105 samples) taken in 2011 (June-September) from 21 stations of the the Timiş River, situate between its sources and the Romanian-Serbian border (241 km). The assessed biotope variables were: altitude, slope, riverbed width, depth, substratum types, channel modification and water physico-chemical caracteristics. The results of the study reveal that the spatial structure of benthic macroinvertebrates is induced by the substrate type, by the minor riverbed modifications in comparison with the natural conditions and the quantities of oxidable matters in the water.

Abstract:

Alterations in trait proportions of diatom and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities were used to evaluate the consequences of the drying of temperate perennial streams due to an uncommon drought event. Four Atlantic-temperate Portuguese streams were sampled on three occasions; spring before the drought, 2 weeks after the return of water to the streambed, and spring after the drought. The traits from diatom and macroinvertebrate communities from temperate streams were also compared with those from Mediterranean systems to assess possible shifts in traits. The effects from stream drying were long-lasting for macroinvertebrates; however, only the diatom trait proportions shifted towards proportions similar to those occurring in Mediterranean streams. There was a significant reduction of macroinvertebrates with the ability to produce cocoons, to disperse actively by flight and passively disperse in the water and of swimmers following the return of water. A decrease in stalked species immediately after drought was evident in diatom communities. In contrast to temperate communities, Mediterranean ones were characterised by larger and less mobile diatoms, and smaller-bodied macroinvertebrates with shorter life cycles. Additional studies are required to determine the long-term effect of uncharacteristic drought events on biological traits and their ecosystem functions in typically perennial streams.

Abstract:

The wetlands located at the periphery of Jimma town, southwestern Ethiopia, have critical roles in providing a range of ecological and socio-economic benefits, yet they are subject to increasing anthropogenic disturbances, notably through agriculture, settlement, intensive grazing and brick-making. This study assessed the ecological status of these wetlands, and examined the scale of the human disturbances that local communities might impose on them. Macroinvertebrate communities, water quality parameters, and human disturbance scores were assessed. Except for electrical conductivity and water temperature, no significant difference (P < 0.05) was found in physico-chemical parameters between the sampled sites. Nitrate was the only parameter that correlated with significant influence on species richness of the sampled macroinvertebrates. A total of 10 metrics were used to generate the index of biotic integrity (IBI). This IBI was then tested based on macroinvertebrate data collected. Ways of assessing and evaluating the existing ecological status of the wetlands are discussed in the context of physico-chemical parameters, IBI based on macroinvertebrates and human disturbance scales.

Abstract:

The main goals of this study were: 1) to evaluate the structure, diversity, and functional trophic group composition of benthic macroinvertebrate communities; 2) to characterize water quality in the headwaters of the Doce river watershed, based on physical, chemical, and biological parameters (benthic macroinvertebrates, fecal coliforms, heterotrophic bacteria, and yeasts); and 3) to contribute to the knowledge of the structure and function of longitudinal gradients in lotic ecosystems in Brazil. A total of 60 benthic macroinvertebrate taxa were identified, the dominant group being the aquatic insects, with 50 families distributed in 8 orders. The dry period presented higher values of taxonomic richness and total density of benthic macroinvertebrates. A decreasing gradient was observed in these variable values from the 3rd order stretch down to the 6th order stretch. The highest Shannon-Wiener diversity values were found in the rainy period in the 3rd order stretches, which presented well-developed riparian forest. Besides the 3rd order stretches, the Pielou evenness index values were also high in the 6th order stretch. The collectors, together with the scrapers, predominated in the benthic macroinvertebrate communities in all river stretches, except in the 2nd, 4th, and 5th order stretches in the rainy period, where communities were dominated by filterers. The shredders and predators presented low densities for all river stretches. All microbiological variables presented low levels. Due to the high counts of heterotrophic bacteria and coliforms, the studied river stretches presented inadequate potability but adequate balneability levels. The results suggest that the structure, diversity, and composition of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities are influenced by the trophic resource availability, seasonality, and sediment heterogeneity. The microbiological results of this study allow inferring that the waters from Serra do Cipó have excellent potential for recreational use and as future sources of water for human consumption.

Abstract:

Aquatic plants play an important role in the survival and proliferation of invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems. Exotic plants are now common in North American lakes and rivers, where they may displace native plants, thereby potentially altering epiphytic invertebrate communities. Differences in aquatic invertebrate communities on native and exotic plants are examined here through (1) a meta-analysis of published data, and (2) two field surveys in northeastern North America that compared invertebrates on the exotic Myriophyllum spicatum and Potamogeton crispus to those on their native congeners. The meta-analysis revealed that exotic plants generally support lower invertebrate abundance than do natives, while invertebrate taxa richness tends to be similar on exotic and native plants. The field surveys demonstrated that M. spicatum and P. crispus support significantly different invertebrate densities and lower taxa richness than their structurally similar native congeners. These results suggest that the replacement of native plants by exotics---even those with similar morphology---may cause concomitant changes to aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract:

Headwater streams are important habitats, unique in their heterogeneity and biodiversity. they are considered significant for the functioning of whole river systems. Many headwater systems. such as those in the temperate and sub arctic northern hemisphere, drain peat dominated catchments, a habitat that is increasingly threatened by climate change, acidification and pressures from an array of land management practices. Together these impacts are resulting in the widespread degradation of peatlands and it is hypothesised that stressors could severely impact streams draining these systems, causing shifts in macro invertebrate community composition and alterations to functional process rates. However, there is a lack of information on the exact impacts of these stressors to peatland streams and, furthermore, limited knowledge of these ecosystems in their intact state. Thus, the overarching aim of this work is to improve understanding surrounding the impacts of stressors to peatland streams and to contextualise this research with an improved knowledge of the dynamics of intact peatland streams. This work focused on streams originating from blanket peats in the UK, which form important headwaters of many major UK rivers, and had four main objectives. 1) Develop a holistic understanding of an intact peatland stream through intensive assessment of physico chemistry, macroinvertebrate communities and three functional processes (algae accrual, plant litter decomposition and whole stream metabolism) using both a longitudinal survey and intense seasonal monitoring. 2) Assess the impacts of two catchment-scale drivers of change in peatland habitats (rotational heather burning and erosion) on stream ecosystems, examining physicochemistry, macroinvertebrates and ecosystem functioning across fifteen streams. 3) Examine gradients of sedimentation associated with environmental change and land management using streamside mesocosm and reach experiments. 4) Consider the mechanisms that elicit a change in physicochemisty, macroinvertebrates and ecosystem function by considering interrelationships and advancement of conceptual models. The interdisciplinary approach used in this thesis allowed a novel assessment of the spatiotemporal variability of peatland stream ecosystems and for the first time hig~lighted alterations in both macroinvertebrate communities and ecosystem functioning along the stream length and across seasons in an intact peatland stream. Increases in macroinvertebrate abundance, primary production and community vi j b respiration were observed with increasing distance downstream and with increasing catchment size. These parameters, along with algae accrual and leaf litter decomposition rates, also showed strong seasonal patterns, decreasing in winter and amplifying in summer. Variations in these parameters were driven predominantly by increases in temperature, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), discharge and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Erosion, and to some degree rotational heather burning, were found to impact physicochemical variables, with total oxidised nitrogen (TON) and SSC displaying increased concentration.s in impacted catchments. Associated shifts were found in macroinvertebrate communities, with amplified abundance in eroded catchments driven by increases in ' more sediment tolerate taxa, such as Chironomidae and Oligo chaeta. Streams draining eroded and burnt catchments also displayed lower numbers of sensitive Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera taxa. Functional parameters did not reflect these changes in chemistry and biota, but there were clear differences between the fifteen individual streams. Experiments undertaken in streamside mesocosms and stream reaches showed impacts of organic sedimentation across several levels of ecological organisation. Increased benthic sedimentation led to declines in macroinvertebrate abundance, shifts in - species composition and increased sediment respiration rates. Short term influx of organic sediment in reach based experiments caused significant increases in the downstream drift of macroinvertebrates during nocturnal periods, however, these streams were quick to recover to pre-experiment drift rates and benthic communities were not affected over the period of the experiment. These influx events produced a rapid and severe decline in GPP measured though whole stream metabolism rates, This body of research highlights peatland streams as unique and heterogenic systems but also as systems that are sensitive to anthropogenic stressors at both the catchment and reach scale, These habitats have intrinsic importance, supporting diverse macroinvertebrate communities, are significant for the modulation of carbon and are good indicators of the condition of the surrounding catchment. Thus, this work emphasises the need for restorative measures and sustainable management in peatland habitats that considers the streams they support. In addition, this work furthers knowledge of the baseline conditions in these systems and increases understanding of the use of functional processes as ecological indicators in peatland..streams.

Abstract:

The unusual environmental conditions within caves provided unique opportunities for developing an understanding of ecosystem processes. However, relatively few studies have been conducted on the ecology of New Zealand cave systems. The primary aim of this research was to investigate changes in aquatic invertebrate communities along a longitudinal gradient from the surface into caves and investigate the fundamental drivers of cave communities. This study was carried out in three streams (two in pasture catchments and one in a forested catchment) flowing into caves in the Waitomo region, North Island, New Zealand. In order to address these aims I carried out a longitudinal survey of 12 sites in each stream, an experimental manipulation of food, and an isotopic study of a single stream. The longitudinal survey of the three cave streams revealed light intensity as well as algal and CPOM biomass all decreased significantly from outside the caves into caves. In contrast, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, stream width, depth, and velocity did not vary significantly with distance into caves. Benthic aquatic macroinvertebrate communities within the caves were a depauperate subset of surface communities, appearing to be structured by gradients in resources and colonisation through drift. However, some invertebrate taxa (primarily predators) were rarely found within caves, further suggesting that resource gradients were structuring cave communities. Surprisingly, the densities of some collector-browsers (primarily mayflies) increased within cave streams relative to surface densities. This may be due to a decrease in competition and predation, flexible feeding strategies, and high drift propensity. However, the benthic densities of most taxa within the caves appeared to be related to drift densities. Although surface forest and pastoral stream communities differed in community composition and density 32 meters within the caves invertebrate community diversity and density became similar, although specific taxa within communities varied. This convergence was attributed to similar environmental gradients within the caves. The resource addition experiment (adding leaf packs) indicated that cave streams were resource limited; the addition of leaves produced communities of similar richness and density across the environmental gradient. The isotopic survey suggested cave stream invertebrate communities were reliant upon similar basal resources to surface streams. However, within the cave epilithon appeared to be increasingly important while filamentous algae were absent. Cave aquatic invertebrates were also found to support terrestrial predators (spiders, harvestmen, and glow-worms), presumably increasing the abundance and diversity of terrestrial cave communities. In conclusion, aquatic cave communities were reliant upon surface derived resources and consequently strongly linked to surface land-use and managerial practices.

Abstract:

Wetland acreage in Southwest Virginia has increased because of formation of wetlands on relic surface mine benches. Prior to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (PL 95-87) once mining operations were completed the sites were abandoned. These areas presented novel landscapes in the rugged Allegheny Plateau physiographic region. Specifically, flat, compacted areas were created. In microdepression of these sites wetlands have formed. This study investigates the macroinvertebrate community associated wetlands of relic surface mining operations. Surveys were conducted to identify what macroinvertebrates utilize these wetlands, to determine how this community was influenced by the physio-chemical characteristics of surface mine wetlands, and to develop design specifications for creating wetlands for current restoration efforts. Nine wetlands were sampled four times between July 1993 and May 1994. Seventy genera of macroinvertebrates were identified. The wetlands represented a range of physical and chemical parameters. The taxa richness appears to be related to these differences. Canonical Correspondence Analysis suggests that for the nine wetlands, the macro invertebrate taxa distribution is best explained by physical features of depth and duration of flooding, chemical parameters of iron, manganese, and sulfate concentration, and a biotic measure of plant litter biomass.

The findings of this study can be applied to ecological restoration. Wetland creation can be incorporated into current surface mine reclamation projects. To maximize the macro invertebrate community of reclamation wetlands, sites must be positioned to avoid water quality problems, excavated to have a deeper portion which will remain inundated during all or most of the year, and have a gradually sloping substrate from the deepest area to the land surface. The final criteria being indirectly related to the macroinvertebrate community by influencing the macrophyte production, richness, and litter.

Abstract:

Long-term changes in climatic conditions resulting from greenhouse gas emissions have been shown to have a marked effect on many species. Less well studied are the impacts of climate change on whole communities and in particular the consequences of these changes on the interactions between species within a community. This thesis aimed to test the following hypotheses: (i) the composition of temporary pond macroinvertebrate communities will be influenced by climatic conditions affecting variables such as water depth and temperature, but these impacts will differ according to pond geology and habitat type, (ii) the impact of temperature on life history traits will be modified by the interactions between species within the community and (iii) it is possible to predict the point at which future climatic conditions will become unsuitable for temporary pond specialist species.
