The development of biomonitoring programs based on the macroinvertebrate community
requires the understanding of species distribution patterns, as well as of the responses of …

Since early studies about aquatic ecology, it has been found that changes in environmental
conditions alter aquatic insect communities. Based on this, the combined study of …

Assessing water quality in streams is usually measured at the local scale and often it is
spatially restricted. To scale-up water-condition assessment, there is a need to use new …

Biodiversity loss and conservation are major issues at global and regional scales.
Plecopteran species have limited distribution areas and are vulnerable to environmental …

AIM: Beta diversity is defined as the change in species composition along environmental
gradients, and in the present study, we investigated the influence of local (ie, environmental) …

The continuous pursuit of welfare and economic development through the exploitation of
natural resources by human societies consequently resulted in the ongoing process of …

Aim: The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of benthic macroinvertebrate dredge
net sampling procedures as an alternative method to kick net sampling in tropical freshwater …

ABSTRACT Prof. Dr. Claudio Gilberto Froehlich's career is presented here using numbers
and actions guided by a genuine way to study biodiversity, especially aquatic ecosystems …

Córregos tropicais apresentam alta variedade de hábitats e gradientes ambientais, que
refletem na maior riqueza de insetos aquáticos. Dessa forma, avaliamos se a diversidade …

Purpose: Investigate the influence of environmental variables and spatial autocorrelation on
aquatic insect communities within the same water flow in Atlantic Forest streams. Theoretical …
