Temporal patterns in macroinvertebrate drift in a northern Spanish stream

Abstract

Drift in the River Negro (Asturias, Spain) was dominated by terrestrial invertebrates, chironomid larvae, simuliid larvae, water mites and the mayfly Baetis rhodani . Trichopterans and Leuctra spp. (plecopterans) occasionally exhibited increased abundances related to events in their life cycle (hatching, emergence). Total numbers of drifting macroinvertebrates increased after sunset, and on some dates a second, pre-dawn peak appeared. Baetis spp., plecopterans, adult aquatic Coleoptera and simuliid larvae drifted mostly at night. Terrestrial invertebrates and water mites were more abundant during the day, whereas trichopterans, chironomid larvae and naidid oligochaetes showed no consistent diel pattern. Drift composition changed seasonally and daily. Seasonal changes appeared to be determined mainly by seasonal shifts in the assemblage of benthic macroinvertebrates. The combined use of UPGMA cluster analysis and detrended correspondence analysis showed that seasonal variation was the major factor influencing overall drift composition, but that diel changes were only slightly less important. The degree of diel variation also changed seasonally. In January and March, day and night samples from a given date were quite similar. In contrast, in May and October, diel variation was greater and the dissimilarity between day and night samples was comparable to that between samples from different dates. Resumen. Los invertebrados terrestres, larvas de quironómidos y simúlidos, ácaros acuáticos y la efémera Baetis rhodani dominaron la deriva en el Río Negro (Asturias, España). Tricópteros y plecópteros ( Leuctra spp.) aumentaron puntualmente su abundancia en relación, aparentemente, con eventos en sus ciclos de vida (eclosión, emergencia). El total de macroinvertebrados en la deriva creció tras el ocaso y, en ocasiones, antes del amancer. Baetis spp., los plecópteros, coleópteros acuáticos adultos y simúlidos derivaron principalmente durante la noche. Los invertebrados terrestres y ácaros acuáticos lo hicieron durante el día, mientras que tricópteros, quironómidos y naídidos no mostraron un patrón consistente. La composición de la deriva cambió estacional y diariamente. Los cambios estacionales parecieron relacionarse con la variación de la comunidad de macroinvertebrados bentónicos. El uso del análisis de agrupamiento UPGMA y del detrended correspondence analysis identificó la estacionalidad como el principal determinante de la composición de la deriva, pero los cambios diarios fueron sólo ligeramente menos importantes. La magnitud de éstos también varió estacionalmente. En enero y marzo las muestras de día y noche de una misma fecha fueron muy parecidas. En cambio, en mayo y octubre la diferencia fue marcada y comparable a la existente entre muestras de fechas distintas.
