AIM: The aim of this paper was to study the spatial distribution and functional feeding
structure of aquatic insect communities of 18 streams at different altitudes in Mambucaba …

Different land uses affect the characteristics of a hydrographic basin, reflected in the river
water quality, and consequently affecting the aquatic biota. The benthic community closely …

Salinization of freshwaters threatens aquatic ecosystems globally via effects that include
reductions in benthic macroinvertebrate diversity. Enhanced understanding of salinity effects …

Aquatic macroinvertebrate diversity and composition in streams along an altitudinal gradient
in Southeastern Brazil. A study concerning taxonomic richness and composition of the …

We demonstrate that the distribution of the functional feeding groups of aquatic insects is
related to hierarchical patch dynamics. Patches are sites with unique environmental and …
