The Impact of Hydromorphological Alterations on Mayfly Assemblages of a Mid-Sized Lowland River in South-Eastern Europe

Abstract: Historically, rivers have been anthropogenically modified for different purposes worldwide (e.g., flood control, drinking water abstraction, and land drainage). Although the majority of European lowland rivers are under the impact of multiple stressors (water quality, hydromorphological alterations, land-use), the consequences of these influences on aquatic macroinvertebrates, including mayflies, have not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, with the aim of providing additional data on the response of mayflie… Show more

“…Changes related to modification of riverbeds and banks are observed here, as well as interference with riparian zones affecting biodiversity (Feld et al 2014, Kałuża et al 2020, Knehtl et al 2021, Kupiec et al 2021, Borek 2023, Denic et al 2023, Garbowski et al 2023). In the case of lowland rivers, a dominance of laminar flow is observed and this in turn translates into habitats for macrophytes and macroinvertebrates (Guareschi et al 2014, Kujanová et al 2018, Vilenica et al 2022). The selected river sections were therefore characterised by a relatively high diversity and abundance of hydromorphological units compared to the other sections (Akstinas et al 2022).…”
