“…The EPT metric, which stands for the insect orders Ephemeroptera (=mayflies), Plecoptera (=stoneflies), and Trichoptera (=caddisflies), found higher species richness in reference compared to impacted streams, with a statistically significant difference (z = 2.013, p = 0.034). Previous studies have shown EPT as indicators metric for macroinvertebrate groups highly sensitive to various sources or types of environmental stress, including changes in land use (Gomes et al 2022), river bed sediment structure (Katano et al 2021), discharge of wastewater from point sources (Kimmel and Argent 2019), and enrichment nutrition (Zhang et al 2018). The EPT, specific to Hydropsychidae, Perlidae, and Baetidae, are typically only found in forest-covered stream stations and are categorized as indicators of clean water species.…”

Abstract. Nasaruddin N, Sabaruddin L, Analuddin K, Sudia LB. 2023. Taxonomic and functional diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate from natural forest as reference for streams health indicators in Lasolo Watershed, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 5523-5538. Macroinvertebrates are known to play a crucial role in nutrient recycling and serve as valuable stream degradation indicators. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the structural and functional diversity of macroinvertebrate communities as a reference for stream health indicators in tropical Sulawesi, Indonesia. Spatial sampling using a multi-habitat method was conducted between September 2021 and March 2022 in five streams connected to natural forest and three from drainage areas in dryland farming. Data on forest cover, physical-chemical variables, and macroinvertebrate samples were collected, while the species richness and diversity trends across streams were analyzed using individual rarefaction curves. In addition, the composition of macroinvertebrate functional group was also evaluated. The results showed that 2474 individuals belonging to 77 genera were recorded throughout the area. We found a reduction in taxa composition by comparing the reference and impacted stream at the genus, family, and order levels with approximate values of 83.1%, 74.07%, and 55.6%, respectively. At least seven significantly different potential metrics that differentiated between reference and the impacted ecosystem were found, including the number of family taxa (#family), the number of insect taxa (#insect), the number of Ephemeroptera-Plecoptera-Trichoptera taxa (#EPT), the number of scraper taxa (#scraper), as well as Shannon-Wiener diversity, Simpson Evenness, and Margalef Richness index. These metrics offer a strong method for assessing land use change and their impact on freshwater biodiversity, emphasizing the importance of conservation efforts in the ecosystem.

“…Although the number of ecological studies on the order Ephemeroptera in the Northern region has increased significantly (Cardoso et al, 2015;Enríquez-Espinosa et al, 2020;Lima et al, 2022;Rivera-Pérez et al, 2023;Shimano & Juen, 2016;Shimano et al, 2021), most of these studies use the aquatic immature phase and restrict taxonomic identification to the genus level. This is due to limitations in nymph identification, such as a lack of trained taxonomists, a high number of unknown species, small body size and different instars in the nymphs, making it challenging to accurately distinguish species (Cardoso et al, 2023;Gomes et al, 2022), especially when conducted by non-specialists. Andrade et al, 2020.…”

One of the primary challenges in biodiversity conservation is the limited knowledge of the taxonomy and geographical distribution of species, particularly in megadiverse regions such as the Amazon In this context, the present study aimed to mitigate the Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls within the Family Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera: Insecta) in the Brazilian Amazon, identify priority areas for conducting faunal inventories and enhance taxonomic knowledge of this group. Utilizing both primary Leptophlebiidae data collected in the state of Pará, and secondary data compiled from the literature on species occurring in the Amazon, we employed Species Distribution Modelling to identify areas with higher potential species richness and priority areas for faunal inventories in the Brazilian Amazon of the family. For the primary data, 2,120 specimens were identified, representing 16 genera and 28 species. Among the 28 species analysed, 7 constitute new records for the state of Pará. Additionally, two new genera, five new species and six morphospecies were identified, significantly expanding the taxonomic landscape of the family in the state. Maps depicting potential species richness and priority areas for faunal inventories in the Brazilian Amazon generated from the Modelling indicated that the states of Pará and the western region of Maranhão exhibit high potential species richness, with overlapping areas identified as priorities for Leptophlebiidae faunal inventories. In this context, this study represents a substantial advancement in the taxonomic knowledge of Leptophlebiidae in the state of Pará and the Amazon, underscoring the urgency of research and biodiversity conservation efforts for the group in the region. Furthermore, the identification of new taxa emphasizes the need for ongoing collaborative efforts to mitigate Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls.
