“…The lower number of taxa detected during the present study in comparison to the 2001 Danube survey (when Paunovic et al 2007 reported 74 macroinvertebrate taxa), could be due to the lower number of sampling sites within the same stretch.…”

“…Differences in the dominant sediment types between the Slovakian and Serbian stretches could be the main reason for the observed differences. The Slovakian sector is distinguished by a higher proportion of habitats with gravel, boulders and stones (Elexová 1998), while the Serbian part (Paunovic et al 2007) is predominantly characterized Fig. 7.…”

“…In general, the community structure that was observed along the Serbian stretch was expected considering the watercourse type. In potamon-type rivers in Serbia, molluscs and oligochaetes are typically the most diverse and abundant groups, together with Chironomidae (Paunovic et al 2007). …”

“…Regarding the sectioning of the Serbian stretch, Paunovic et al (2007) indicated that three sectors of the Danube river could be distinguished -the upper (Pannonian), the Iron Gate sector and a sector represented by sites located at the entrance to the Iron Gate sector. A similar conclusion was subsequently presented by Paunović et al (2010).…”

“…The Serbian reach of the Danube has been extensively examined since the early sixties, (a review of the investigations is presented in Paunovic et al 2007). The sector is under the influence of organic pollution and hydromorphological alteration.…”

The aim of this study was to use the data on the distribution of aquatic macroinvertebrates obtained from 14 sites within a 413 km long stretch of the Danube River in Serbia to show the relevance of the bordering zone between the Middle and Lower Danube. A total of 68 macroinvertebrate taxa were observed. Molluscs were the major component with regard to species richness and relative abundance. Lithoglyphus naticoides (C. Pfeiffer, 1828) was the most abundant species and Unio tumidus (Retzius, 1788) was the most frequent species. Product-moment correlation coefficients or Pearson r coefficient was used to analyse the relation between the sites based on macroinvertebrate distribution. The data obtained by product-moment correlation served as input for cluster analyses. According to a cluster analyses Danube River in Serbia could be separated in the free-flowing sector, the stretch with a backwater effect and the area of the Iron Gate.

We comparatively examined the role of littoral and deep water sampling methods in assessing macroinvertebrate assemblages and in characterizing longitudinal changes in assemblage structure along >2,500-km-long course of the Danube River, Europe.The effectiveness of detecting taxa corresponded well with an inshore-offshore gradient in sampling (i.e., distance from shore). Nevertheless, each method (i.e., littoral multihabitat sampling, kick and sweep sampling, and deep water dredging) contributed to some degree to overall taxa richness and species composition. Sampling in different depth zones characterized different assemblages, and consequently, inshore-offshore position was at least as important determinant of assemblage structure as longitudinal position of sampling sites in the river. Although we found significant congruency in the spatial variability of assemblages among the sampling methods, the relationships were only moderate. Our study on the large Danube River confirms studies from smaller rivers in other geographic regions that littoral monitoring provides higher taxa richness and more responsive changes to longitudinal gradients than deep water samples. Nevertheless, it also shows that sampling in different depth zones provides supplementary information on assemblage structure. Understanding changes in macroinvertebrate assemblages related to differences in sampling method is crucial to improve the bioassessment and environmental management of large rivers.
