Mining, agriculture and cattle production are activities that threaten the quality quantity of water resources in Colombian Andes. However, many drainage basins this region have not been subjected to simultaneous evaluation impact these on density, diversity composition aquatic macroinvertebrates (AMI). The first two ecological variables expected decrease drastically from zones with no apparent towards areas anthropogenic activity, which mining will present most impoverished AMI community.We...
Abstract Hurricanes are major disturbances with important consequences to stream ecosystems as they create floods and remove riparian vegetation. Understanding their impacts is a priority, hurricane intensity expected increase due global climate change. Mayfly assemblages in streams fill diversity of ecological roles functions. They consumers algae by scraping benthic biofilms detritivores associated fine particles leaf litter. Other taxa filterers even predators. Mayflies also prey items...
