Resumo
Vários estudos envolvendo flora e distribuição de comunidades de macroalgas lóticas já foram desenvolvidos na região noroeste do estado de São Paulo; entretanto, nunca foi realizada qualquer abordagem sobre macroalgas lóticas em fragmentos florestais remanescentes, aspecto mais relevante deste estudo. Foram testadas as seguintes hipóteses: (1) entre as regiões/biomas estudados no estado de São Paulo, o atual trabalho deve apresentar maior similaridade florística com Floresta Tropical, por ser mais próxima e composta também por Floresta Estacional Semidecidual; (2) características intrínsecas de cada corpo d’água devem exercer maior influência na riqueza e abundância das comunidades de macroalgas do que parâmetros mais gerais de cada fragmento, como forma, tamanho e matriz adjacente, e da ordem de grandeza do riacho e sua respectiva bacia de drenagem. Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral realizar o levantamento florístico e analisar a distribuição ecológica das comunidades de macroalgas lóticas de fragmentos florestais remanescentes de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual da região noroeste do estado de São Paulo (20o00’13”-21o37’14”S, 48o32’26”- 50o26’02”O). Foram amostrados 17 riachos pertencentes a 12 fragmentos, no intervalo de junho a agosto de 2007 e 2008, período mais favorável para a região (estação seca). Foram identificadas 16 espécies de macroalgas, pertencentes a 14 gêneros. A maioria das espécies (69%) foi encontrada em um único ponto. Cyanophyta e Chlorophyta foram os grupos predominantes (44 e 37,5%), seguidos por Rhodophyta (12,5%) e Heterokontophyta (6%). Phormidium retzii (Cyanophyta) foi a espécie mais frequente, ocorrendo em seis pontos de amostragem. Apenas duas espécies representaram novos registros para a região: Trichocoleus sociatus (Cyanophyta) e Vaucheria pseudogeminata (Heterokontophyta); a última representa...
Several studies involving the flora and distribution of lotic macroalgal communities have been carried out in the northwest region of São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. However, the lotic macroalgae in remnant forest fragments have never been studied, the most relevant aspect of this study. The following hypotheses have been tested: 1) among the biomes/regions previously studied in São Paulo State, the flora of the northwest region is expected to reveal the highest floristic similarity with the Tropical Forest, since it is the nearest biome and also composed by semidecidual seasonal forest; 2) particular characteristics of each water body are expected to be more influential on the species richness and abundance of macroalgal communities than more general parameters of each forest fragment, such as surrounding matrix, stream order and position in the respective drainage basin. This study aimed at surveying the flora and describing the ecological distribution the of lotic macroalgal communities from remnant forest fragments composed of semidecidual seasonal forest in the northwest region of São Paulo State (20o00’13”-21o37’14”S, 48o32’26”-50o26’02”O). 17 streams were sampled in 12 forest fragments from June to August of 2007 and 2008 during the typical most favorable period in the region (dry season). 16 species have been surveyed, belonging to 14 genera. 69% of species were found in a single site. Cyanophyta and Chlorophyta were the predominant algal groups (44 amd 37.5%), followed by Rhodophyta (12.5%) and Heterokontophyta (6%). Phormidium retzii (Cyanophyta) was the most frequent species, occurring in six sampling sites. Only two species were new records for the region: Trichocoleus sociatus (Cyanophyta) and Vaucheria pseudogeminata (Heterokontophyta); the later represents the first report for Brazil. The regional flora was more similar (nine species in common, 56%)... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
