Benthic macroinvertebrates of a tropical lake: Lake Caçó, MA, Brazil.
Benthic communities are highly relevant in the study of aquatic ecosystems, both for their role in the functioning of the ecosystem and also as markers or indicators of paleo-conditions. Their distribution, as in other communities, is conditioned by abiotic and biotic factors and to their interactions, which determine the structure of the community that is established. The aim of this study was...
متن کاملPatterns of functional biodiversity and function–environment relationships in lake littoral macroinvertebrates
I examined variability in the abundances of functional groups, functional diversity measures, and functional structure of littoral macroinvertebrate communities in relation to the environmental features of boreal lakes. The most important environmental variables shaping variation in the abundances of functional groups and functional structure were lake surface area, macrophyte cover, total phos...
متن کاملBenthic-Pelagic Linkages in Lakes: Using Stable Isotopes to Quantify Effects of Residential Shoreline Development on Lake Ecosystems
Historically the importance of benthic primary production to the structure and function of lake ecosystems has been underestimated. With increasing recognition of the importance of benthic-pelagic linkages in lakes, researchers recently have demonstrated that benthic production can ‘subsidize’ pelagic food webs. These findings indicate that loss of benthic production may lead to a reduction in ...
متن کاملInfluence of benthic macroinvertebrates on mixing of profundal sediments in southeastern Lake Huron1
Vertical distributions of size classed benthic macroinvertebrates were investigated in centimeter-thick sections of twelve cores from each of two stations in southern Lake Huron. Stations were selected on the basis of radioactivity profiles indicating surf&e sediment mixing to 3 and 6 cm. The corresponding occurrence of major taxonomic groups (amphipods and oligochaetes) to 2 cm at the first st...
