Tóm tắt

Natural fluctuations in ecosystems, such as those associated with climate, are a fundamental factor structuring macroinvertebrate assemblages. Given that macroinvertebrates are widely used in biomonitoring of aquatic systems, it is necessary assess the potential effects of seasonality on this group to avoid confusing its effects with the effects of anthropogenic impacts. In the present study, the richness, assemblage composition, and abundance of macroinvertebrates of Amazonian streams (n = 23) were compared among four periods—the start and apex of dry period, and the start and apex of rainy period. For these comparisons, were considered the conditions of the streams in three categories: (i) pristine, (ii) impacted by deforestation, and (iii) impacted by deforestation and pollution with raw sewage. The results indicate no significant variation among periods in the richness (p = 0.397), abundance (p = 0.420), and assemblage composition (p = 0.274) of the macroinvertebrates, which respond to anthropogenic impact irrespective of the seasonal period. Given this, representative samples can be obtained during any given period of the year, reducing field costs and sample processing time, enabling the reliable and rapid diagnosis of streams.
