At the habitat level, current velocity, substrate, abundance of macroalgae and twigs and leaves were the most important variables explaining functional feeding group distribution. Gathering collectors were dominant in most of the habitats, streams and periods except in riffles during the low water period in which filtering collectors dominated. Four streams were sampled in two hydrological periods (high and low discharge) and three benthic samples were taken in riffles and runs of coarse and fine substrate. This study aims to analyze the distribution of macroinvertebrate Functional Feeding Groups in different habitats of mountain streams (Córdoba, Argentina) and to assess the environmental variables conditioning this distribution at the habitat level. Trophic structure of benthic communities is influenced by the availability of food resources which indeed may be conditioned by stream size, shading and substrate. De Córdoba, Argentina.ABSTRACT.
El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la distribución de los grupos funcionales alimentarios de macroinvertebrados en diferentes hábitats de arroyos serranos de la Provincia de Córdoba (Argentina) y examinar las variables ambientales que explican esta distribución a escala de hábitat. Patrones de variación espacio-temporal de grupos funcionales alimentarios en arroyos serranos de Córdoba, Argentina : La estructura trófica de las comunidades bentónicas está condicionada por la disponibilidad de recursos alimenticios, los cuales a su vez varían en función del tamaño del arroyo, la cobertura y el tipo de sustrato. The phenology and life history of the species, and the amount and type of organic matter retained in each habitat may explain the observed spatial-temporal patterns.Keywords: Aquatic macroinvertebrates Benthos Habitat Functional organization Lotic ecosystem.RESUMEN. The dominance of collectors demonstrates the importance of the role of this functional group and that fine detritus is the main food resource in these lotic ecosystems.
La abundancia de los grupos funcionales varió en función de los arroyos, de los distintos hábitats y de los periodos hidrológicos. Las variables más importantes que explicaron la distribución de los grupos funcionales a escala de hábitat fueron la velocidad de la corriente, el tipo de sustrato y la abundancia de macroalgas y de ramas y hojas. Los colectores de depósito fueron dominantes en la mayoría de los hábitats, arroyos y períodos hidrológicos, excepto en los rabiones durante el periodo de bajo caudal en el cual predominaron los colectores filtradores.
This grouping reflects both convergent and parallel evolution leading to functionally similar organisms. The functional group concept is concerned with how a resource or any other ecological component is processed by different species to provide a specific ecosystem service or function (Blondel 2003).The feeding roles of invertebrates in lotic ecosystems are categorized according to food sources and mechanisms of food acquisition, which in turn are related to morphological and behavioral adaptations of the consumer (Allan & Castillo 2007). La fenología y la forma de vida de las especies y la cantidad y calidad de materia orgánica retenida en cada hábitat explicarían el patrón espacio-temporal de variación de los grupos funcionales alimentarios.Palabras clave: Macroinvertebrados acuáticos Bentos Hábitat Organización funcional Ecosistema lótico.The assessment of the functional organization of aquatic communities is an important tool in stream ecology since the ability to view a faunal assemblage as a collection of functional groups provides valuable insight into which food resources are prevalent, and allows one to observe how different groups of organisms respond to environmental variables (Allan & Castillo 2007).The term "functional feeding group" was first used by Cummins (1974), who stated that it was necessary the identification of functional groups of organisms, at least partially independent of taxonomic determinations, in order to address important process-oriented ecosystem questions.
The distribution of the functional groups may be determined by changes in food availability which indeed is influenced by stream size, shading and substrate (Allan & Castillo 2007). 1997).Macroinvertebrates derive their nutrition from a spatially and temporally variable system since streams and rivers are characterized by seasonal, local, and streamorder differences in inputs, production, and storage of food resources (Cummins & Klug 1979). In addition, this approach provides a further perspective that can be combined with other community attributes to ensure better understanding of the match between habitat and aquatic fauna (Townsend et al. Functional feeding classification of aquatic organisms enhances the knowledge of trophic dynamics in streams by simplifying the benthic community into trophic groups. 1998) and the trophic structure of a stream can be indirectly evaluated on the basis of functional feeding groups (Paunovic et al. Shredders feed on coarse particulate organic matter, collectors feed on fine particulate organic matter either from the water column or the streambed, scrapers ingest periphyton, and predators consume prey (Cummins & Klug 1979 Merrit & Cummins 1996 Merritt & Cummins 2006).Feeding strategies, incorporated in functional analysis, can play an important role in biomonitoring (Charvet et al.
As species are lost from ecosystems due to human activities, the extent to which system function and resilience depend on the number and characteristics of species present becomes an issue of considerable concern (Covich et al. Intact biological assemblages with a diverse mix of species are expected to carry out various ecosystem functions including primary production, organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and secondary production. (2001) pointed out that the use of functional trophic groups and the colonization of characteristic habitats constitute a useful tool for conservation.
However, the abundance of shredders will be higher in riffles since these habitats are more heterogeneous and retain more quantities of coarse organic matter.Additionally, we expect to find in general a dominance of gathering collectors since many studies in the Neotropical region have reported the prevalence of this functional group (Palmer et al. As the study streams are low order streams but they are not canopied, we expect to find a less proportion of shredders compared to the proportion hypothesized by the River Continuum Concept (Vannote et al. Taking into account that functional feeding groups greatly depend on food resources and that food is conditioned, among other factors, by shading and substrate of the streams (Alan & Castillo 2007), we expect to find differences in the abundance of the functional feeding groups in relation to habitat type. This study aims to analyze the distribution of functional feeding groups in different habitats of mountain streams of central Argentina and to assess the environmental variables conditioning this distribution at the habitat level. 2007, 2008), information in relation to the functional organization of the community at the habitat level is still scarce (Corigliano & Malpassi 1998). Although distribution patterns of macroinvertebrate assemblages have already been evaluated in stream habitats of the central region of Argentina (Príncipe et al.
