Zusammenfassung: | We tested the hypothesis that the contribution of the nestedness component is higher in environments with more similar features (lentic or lotic), whereas the contribution of the turnover component is higher in environments with more dissimilar features (lotic vs. lentic). To this end, we partitioned beta diversity of the Oligochaeta community into 12 environments of the Upper Parana River floodplain. We recorded 986 individuals of 17 taxa. Through Redundancy Analysis, we observed a differentiation between lentic and lotic habitats both by environmental features as species composition. Our hypothesis was partially supported, because in environments with more similar hydrological characteristics, we observed a greater contribution of the nestedness component only in lentic environments, whereas in lotic environments, the turnover component showed a higher value. Moreover, when analyzed the different environments (lentic vs. lotic), we noticed a very similar contribution of both components. Some species were more frequent, as A. pigueti and P. americana, while others were exclusive to some environments (N. bonettoi and H. aedeochaeta). We evidenced the importance of each component in structuring Oligochaeta community, nonetheless, in a different way between environments with more similar (nestedness to lentic and turnover to lotic) or dissimilar (almost the same contribution of both) features. Keywords: turnover, nestedness, lentic, lotic, richness. Nos testamos a hipotese de que a contribuicao do componente aninhamento e maior em ambientes com caracteristicas hidrologicas semelhantes (lenticos ou loticos), enquanto o componente turnover e maior em ambientes com caracteristicas mais diferentes (lotico vs. lentico). Para tal, particionamos a diversidade beta da comunidade de Oligochaeta entre 12 ambientes da planicie de inundacao do alto rio Parana. Registramos 986 individuos, consistindo em 17 taxons. Por meio da Analise de Redundancia, observamos uma diferenciacao entre ambientes lenticos e loticos, tanto pelos fatores ambientais como tambem pelas especies. Nossa hipotese foi parcialmente corroborada uma vez que em relacao aos ambientes com caracteristicas mais similares, observamos maior contribuicao do componente aninhamento apenas nos ambientes lenticos, enquanto nos ambientes loticos, o componente turnover foi maior. Ainda, ao analisarmos os ambientes mais diferentes, notamos uma contribuicao muito semelhante de ambos os componentes. Algumas especies fo |
