Functional responses of aquatic invertebrates to anthropogenic stressors in riparian zones of Neotropical savanna streams

Kele R. Firmiano et al.

Summary: Riparian zones play a crucial role in freshwater ecosystem processes and biodiversity conservation. A study on freshwater invertebrates in Neotropical savanna headwater streams revealed that certain biological traits are significantly impacted by anthropogenic stressors, such as increased disturbance, lower substrate heterogeneity, and higher water temperature. These findings provide valuable insights for environmental management and monitoring efforts in tropical savanna headwater ecosystems globally.

The Zygoptera/Anisoptera ratio as a tool to assess anthropogenic changes in Atlantic Forest streams

Cintia Ribeiro et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness of the Zygoptera/Anisoptera ratio in measuring ecological changes in Atlantic Forest streams, finding it to be a practical tool for classifying the preservation status of streams. The ease of specimen identification in different Odonata suborders allows for quick participatory monitoring, facilitating the establishment of monitoring networks for aquatic environment integrity in the future.

Anthropogenic impacts influence the functional traits of Chironomidae (Diptera) assemblages in a neotropical savanna river basin

Isabela Martins et al.

Summary: The study indicates that increased demands for water have negative impacts on water quality, availability, and biodiversity. Through research on Chironomidae insects, their important role in ecological assessment has been discovered, leading to potential improvements in assessing the effects of human disturbances on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages.

Pervasive decline of subtropical aquatic insects over 20 years driven by water transparency, non-native fish and stoichiometric imbalance

Gustavo Q. Romero et al.

Summary: The study examined a 20-year monitoring dataset of freshwater insects from a subtropical floodplain, and found a pervasive decline in abundance of all major insect orders and families, with the main drivers being concurrent invasions of non-native insectivorous fish and changes to water stoichiometry. Long-term research is crucial for a deeper understanding of human-induced impacts on aquatic insects.

Do tropical riparian forests in the Cerrado Biome act as a buffer against the impacts of agriculture and livestock on benthic macroinvertebrate communities?

Renata de Moura Guimaraes-Souto et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of land use on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in aquatic ecosystems. It found that maintaining riparian vegetation can mitigate the impacts of agricultural and livestock activities on these communities. The richness and structure of the communities were similar among streams in natural vegetation, agriculture, and pasture areas.
