Fish diversity is generally high in drainage networks in perennial systems. On the other hand, little is known about the importance of drainage networks in semiarid regions. The scant attention given to rivers in semiarid regions so far may in part be explained by the high intermittency and low ramification of these drainage networks and their incorrect classification as systems of low diversity and productivity. In this study, we investigated the importance of the drainage system of an intermittent river system in Brazil with regard to taxonomic and functional β-diversity. To do so, we evaluated the importance of both tributaries (branches) (12 sampling points) and the main stem (7 sampling points).We initially modeled the spatial structure within the branches and the main stem using asymmetric eigenvector maps. We then partitioned β-diversity values between local (biotic and abiotic) and spatial factors (positive spatial autocorrelation). The higher β-diversity values observed for branches were explained mainly by predation and environmental selection. On the other hand, in the main stem, β-diversity was best explained by a combination of environmental conditions and spatial factors. In general, local factors were more important in the functional approach than in the taxonomic approach, supporting their joint use in metacommunity studies. Our results suggest that fish metacommunity structure in branches may be responsible for maintaining regional patterns of β-diversity in semiarid river systems.

巴西间断河中的元社区组织:河网对区域生物多样性的重要性

在多年生系统的排水网络中,鱼类多样性普遍很高。另一方面,对半干旱地区排水网络的重要性知之甚少。到目前为止,半干旱地区对河流的关注不足,部分原因可以归因于这些排水网络的高间歇性和低分叉性以及它们被错误地归类为低多样性和低生产力的系统。在这项研究中,我们调查了间歇性河流系统的排水系统在分类​​学和功能性β多样性方面的重要性。为此,我们评估了支流(分支)(12个采样点)和主干(7个采样点)的重要性。我们最初使用非对称特征向量图对分支和主干内的空间结构进行建模。然后,我们在局部(生物和非生物)和空间因素(正空间自相关)之间划分β多样性值。主要通过捕食和环境选择来解释观察到的较高的β-多样性值。另一方面,在主干中,结合环境条件和空间因素可以最好地解释β多样性。通常,局部因素在功能方法中比在分类方法中更重要,支持它们在元社区研究中的联合使用。我们的研究结果表明,分支的鱼类亚群落结构可能是维持半干旱河系β多样性区域格局的原因。主要通过捕食和环境选择来解释观测到的较高的β-多样性值。另一方面,在主干中,结合环境条件和空间因素可以最好地解释β多样性。通常,局部因素在功能方法中比在分类方法中更重要,支持它们在元社区研究中的联合使用。我们的研究结果表明,分支的鱼类亚群落结构可能是维持半干旱河系β多样性区域格局的原因。主要通过捕食和环境选择来解释观察到的较高的β-多样性值。另一方面,在主干中,结合环境条件和空间因素可以最好地解释β多样性。通常,局部因素在功能方法中比在分类方法中更重要,支持它们在元社区研究中的联合使用。我们的研究结果表明,分支的鱼类亚群落结构可能是维持半干旱河系β多样性区域格局的原因。支持它们在元社区研究中的联合使用。我们的研究结果表明,分支的鱼类亚群落结构可能是维持半干旱河系β多样性区域格局的原因。支持它们在元社区研究中的联合使用。我们的研究结果表明,分支的鱼类亚群落结构可能是维持半干旱河系β多样性区域格局的原因。
