Initial development of a multi-metric index based on aquatic macroinvertebrates to assess streams condition in the Upper Isiboro-Sécure Basin, Bolivian Amazon |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Nabor Moya, Sylvie Tomanova, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN We developed a preliminary macroinvertebrate-based multi-metric index to assess streams biotic condition in the Upper Isiboro-Sécure basin (Bolivia). To do so we used eight local habitat descriptors and twelve metrics describing the structure...
Longitudinal and altitudinal changes of macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in neotropical streams: a test of the River Continuum Concept |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Sylvie Tomanova, Pablo A Tedesco, Melina Campero, Paul A Van Damme, Nabor Moya, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN The River Continuum Concept (RCC) explains the structural and functional characteristics of stream communities focusing on the gradually changing physical components from headwaters to...
Using macroinvertebrate biological traits for assessing biotic integrity of neotropical streams |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Sylvie Tomanova, Nabor Moya, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN Abstract Several recent studies have demonstrated that a functional approach (ie analysis of traits indicating species ecological functions) can be successfully used for river biomonitoring. To date this approach has only been applied in...
Local-scale species–energy relationships in fish assemblages of some forested streams of the Bolivian Amazon |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Pablo A Tedesco, Carla Ibañez, Nabor Moya, Rémy Bigorne, Jimena Camacho, Edgar Goitia, Bernard Hugueny, Mabel Maldonado, Mirtha Rivero, Sylvie Tomanová, José P Zubieta, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN Productivity (trophic energy) is one of the most important factors promoting variation in species...
Macroinvertebrate-based multimetric predictive models for evaluating the human impact on biotic condition of Bolivian streams |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Nabor Moya, Robert M Hughes, Eduardo Domínguez, François-Marie Gibon, Edgar Goitia, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN We developed and validated a single multimetric index based on predictive models that could evaluate anthropogenic disturbances in streams of three disparate ecoregions of Bolivia. To do...
Comparación de las comunidades de macroinvertebrados acuáticos en ríos intermitentes y permanentes del altiplano boliviano: implicaciones para el futuro cambio climático |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Nabor Moya; François-Marie Gibon; Thierry Oberdorff; Claudio Rosales y Eduardo Domínguez RESUMEN The impact of hydrologic non-permanence (intermittent streams) on benthic macroinvertebrate communities was investigated in Bolivian head Andean streams. Samples of benthic macroinvertebrates and...
Determinants of local and regional communities in intermittent and perennial headwaters of the Bolivian Amazon |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: THIBAULT DATRY, NABOR MOYA, JOSE ZUBIETA, THIERRY OBERDORFF RESUMEN 1. The effect of drying events on aquatic biodiversity is still overlooked in wet Neotropical systems. Yet, the responses of local communities and metacommunities in these biodiversity hotspots may differ from what is reported in...
Description of the first South American species of Neocylloepus Brown (Coleoptera: Elmidae): N. chaparensis sp. nov. from Bolivia |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Veronica Manzo, N Moya RESUMEN A new species of riffle beetle from Bolivia, Neocylloepus chaparensis sp. nov., is described and illustrated from adults of both sexes and the larva. This is the first species of Neocylloepus Brown described from South America. The new species is compared with other...
Metacommunity patterns across three Neotropical catchments with varying environmental harshness |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: Thibault Datry, Adriano S Melo, Nabor Moya, Jose Zubieta, Evans De la Barra, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN Most metacommunity studies indicate that dispersal processes play a minor role compared with species sorting in explaining metacommunity organisation, in particular, in stream systems. However,...
Indice multimetrico de integridad biotica bentica para la cuenca del rio Chipiriri, Cochabamba-Bolivia |
Jun 16th, 2017
Autores: N Moya, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN Con el propósito de desarrollar un índice multimétrico para evaluar la calidad biológica de los ríos de la Cuenca Chipiriri (Bolivia), tomamos muestras de macroinvertebrados bentónicos y medidas ambientales en dos grupos de sitios distribuidos uniformemente en toda...
Context‐dependent resistance of fres...
Autores: Thibault Datry, Ross Vander Vorste, Edgar Goïtia, Nabor Moya, Melina Campero, Fabiola Rodriguez, Jose Zubieta, Thierry Oberdorff RESUMEN More freshwater ecosystems are drying in response to global...
