“…Similar observations have been reported for permanent lakes on Easter Island, where it was not possible to find littoral and benthic invertebrates (Dummont & Martens, 1996;De los Ríos-Escalante & Ibáñez, 2015). The presence of mosquitofish and their ecological role as active predators has been described by De los Ríos-Escalante & Mardones (2013).…”

Aquatic insect communities in inland waters of Chile are characterised by the presence of certain species depending on water quality, but there is little information on statistical ecology in the structure of insect communities. The aim of the present study was to apply null models to explain the structure of aquatic insects in the middle zone of the Loa River, in the Atacama Desert (Antofagasta Region, Chile; 23°S). The results of the null models of species co-occurrence showed that species associations are random, while niche sharing showed that species share ecological niches and consequently there is interspecific competition. The reported taxa are similar to communities for other North Patagonian rivers in terms of community structure.

“…Regarding fish species, the presence of introduced Gambusia affinis was reported in the mid-19th century (Baird & Girard, 1853;Magliulo-Cepriano et ah, 2003;De los Rios-Escalante, 2010). The widespread presence of crustacean species for Easter Island that probably were human introduced were described more recently (De los Rios-Escalante & Ibanez, 2015). In spite of these reports, there are no limnological descrip¬ tions for Easter Island, and in this context, if we consider its geographical isolation, it would be possible to do a first study using remote sensing techniques as an exploratory approach (Kondratyev & Filatov, 1999;Verpoorter et ah, 2012;…”

Easter Island is the farthest human-inhabited site from a continent, and due to this condition stud¬ ies on it are very scarce and restricted to basic field descriptions of its coastal marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The aim of the present study is to complete a first description of Easter Island s inland waters using remote sensing techniques, specifically the GVMI index. The results revealed monthly fluctuations in water body and wet soil surface that are due mainly to rainy seasons. These results provide an interesting first step for other limnological studies in Easter Island and other sites with access problems.
