ABSTRACT

Nós criamos massas de ovos dos tricópteros Phylloicus amazonas (n = 2) e Phylloicus elektoros (n = 7) coletadas no campo até a fase adulta. A mediana do tempo de desenvolvimento do primeiro instar larval ao adulto foi de 229 dias para P. amazonas e 275 dias para P. elektoros, incluindo o tempo de desenvolvimento pupal (mediana de 13.5 e 16 dias, respectivamente). Fragmentadores têm sido frequentemente usados em estudos relacionados ao processamento de matéria orgânica em ecossistemas aquáticos. As informações biológicas fornecidas neste estudo podem ser úteis para o planejamento de estudos experimentais em campo ou em condições de laboratório.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Biomass is a fundamental measure for understanding the structure and functioning (e.g. fluxes of energy and nutrients in the food chain) of aquatic ecosystems. We aim to provide predictive models to estimate the biomass of Triplectides egleri Sattler, 1963, in a stream in Central Amazonia, based on body and case dimensions. We used body length, head-capsule width, interocular distance and case length and width to derive biomass estimations. Linear, exponential and power regression models were used to assess the relationship between biomass and body or case dimensions. All regression models used in the biomass estimation of T. egleri were significant. The best fit between biomass and body or case dimensions was obtained using the power model, followed by the exponential and linear models. Body length provided the best estimate of biomass. However, the dimensions of sclerotized structures (interocular distance and head-capsule width) also provided good biomass predictions, and may be useful in estimating biomass of preserved and/or damaged material. Case width was the dimension of the case that provided the best estimate of biomass. Despite the low relation, case width may be useful in studies that require low stress on individuals.

ABSTRACT

In the present study we report the occurrence of three Naididae species from three gastropod mollusk species. The species Dero (Dero) righii was found from mollusks of the genus Biomphalaria. Nais communis was found from Biomphalaria sp. and Aplexa rivalis. Chaetogaster limnaei was found from Biomphalaria sp., Aplexa rivalis and Lymnaea columella. In Brazil, previous studies have reported the occurrence of Chaetogaster limnaei from Biomphalaria solely, while Nais communis have been found from Pomacea bridgesii and Dero (Dero) righii in the sediment of aquatic habitats in Mato Grosso do Sul. Our results indicate that, due to their locomotion, naidids are capable of colonizing different substrates in aquatic environments.


No presente estudo, relatamos a ocorrência de Dero (Dero) righii associada a moluscos do gênero Biomphalaria. Nais communis foi encontrada associada a Biomphalaria sp. e Aplexa rivalis. A espécie Chaetogaster limnaei esteve associada à Biomphalaria sp., Aplexa rivalis e Lymnaea columella. No Brasil, estudos anteriores registraram Chaetogaster limnaei associada somente à Biomphalaria, Nais communis à Pomacea bridgesii e Dero (Dero) righii ao sedimento de ambientes aquáticos no Mato Grosso do Sul. Os resultados obtidos confirmam que, devido à capacidade de se deslocar na coluna d'água, os oligoquetos naidideos apresentam habilidade de colonizar diferentes substratos presentes nos ambientes aquáticos.

ABSTRACT

Studies on benthic macroinvertebrates of lotic environments usually focus on the occurrence, distribution, and richness of aquatic insects and decapod crustaceans. Only rarely these studies include the Oligochaeta. The aim of the present study was to examine the occurrence and species richness of Oligochaeta in different substrata patches of lotic environments. The studied included seven stream sites at Parque Estadual Intervales (São Paulo, Brazil). Stream sites differed in size and ranged from first to fourth order. In each stream, qualitative collections were made using a D-type net sampler with 0.21 mm mesh. Measures of pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature and water turbidity were taken in the studied sites during collections of Oligochaeta. Specimens of the Tubificidae (including Naidinae) and Enchytraeidae families were collected. The Tubificidae Aulodrilus limnobius, Limnodrilus neotropicus and Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri were associated with low-flow habitats containing fine organic material. The most representative species among the Naidinae, Nais communis, was predominantly associated with rocky substrates present in fast current locations. The two other Naidinae species, Pristina osborni and Amphichaeta leydigi, presented low frequency in the studied streams. The Enchytraeidae family was present in only one of the sampled habitats.


Estudos sobre macroinvertebrados bentônicos de ambientes lóticos geralmente focam na ocorrência, distribuição e riqueza de insetos aquáticos e de crustáceos decápodos. Tais estudos apenas raramente incluem Oligochaeta. O objetivo do presente estudo foi examinar a ocorrência e riqueza de espécies de Oligochaeta de diferentes substratos em ambientes lóticos. O estudo incluiu sete riachos do Parque Estadual Intervales (São Paulo, Brasil). Os riachos estudados variaram em tamanho desde primeira até quarta ordem. Em cada ambiente, foram realizadas coletas qualitativas utilizando amostrador do tipo rede em D com malha 0,21 mm. Simultaneamente às coletas de Oligochaeta foram tomadas medidas do pH, condutividade elétrica, oxigênio dissolvido, temperatura e turbidez da água dos ambientes. Foram coletados exemplares das famílias Tubificidae (incluindo Naidinae) e Enchytraeidae. Os Tubificidae Aulodrilus limnobius, Limnodrilus neotropicus e Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri estiveram associados à habitats com pouca correnteza e substrato contendo material orgânico fino. Nais communis espécie mais representativa entre os Naidinae, esteve predominantemente associada a substratos rochosos presentes em locais de correntes rápidas. As duas outras espécies de Naidinae, Pristina osborni e Amphichaeta leydigi apresentaram baixa freqüência nos córregos analisados. A família Enchytraeidae esteve presente somente em um dos ambientes amostrados.
