Forest cover influences zooplanktonic communities in Amazonian streams

Abstract

Deforestation of riparian areas is a major driver of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. Thus, we investigated the influence of forest cover and physical and chemical characteristics of streams on zooplankton communities in the southeastern Amazon. We addressed the following questions: (1) Are environmental factors (water physical and chemical characteristics and landscape variables) and dispersive processes (reflected in the spatial structure among sampling sites) efficient predictors of zooplankton communities in different hydrologic seasons? (2) Can zooplankton species be indicators of watersheds’ forest-cover levels? We sampled 15 streams located in nine rural settlements in northern Mato Grosso, Brazil, in the dry (August) and rainy (March) seasons of 2017. The forest-cover level had a significant effect on the physical and chemical characteristics (conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature) of streams and also on the structure and composition of zooplankton communities, mainly of rotifers and testate amoebae. Areas with low vegetation cover had seasonal changes in species richness, individuals density, and zooplankton community structure. Environmental and spatial variables had no significant effect on the structure of zooplankton communities, which may indicate the strong influence of stochastic factors. Species from three zooplankton groups (rotifers, microcrustaceans, and testate amoebae) were indicators of forest-cover classes. This study provided valuable contributions to the conservation of riparian ecosystems and the use of biological indicators in environmental monitoring programs.
