The diversity of synthetic, xenobiotic chemicals reaching the wider environment has increased rapidly over the past century. The nature and severity of their ecological effects in freshwater systems, however, remains poorly understood, even for the so-called ‘legacy’ pollutants. These persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic compounds still risk having negative effects at all levels of biological organisation long after their initial release into the environment. 2. The ability to determine the ecological risks posed by persistent pollutants remains restricted due to: (1) reliance on standardised toxicology testing on individuals in the laboratory; (2) limited understanding of how spatial and biological variation alters potential ecological effects at population, community and food web levels; and (3) poor knowledge of how pollutant bioaccumulation and biomagnification translate to effects in natural ecosystems. 3. Through global, catchment and reach-scale empirical assessments, this thesis investigated spatial and biological variation, trophic transfers and ecological risk in freshwater ecosystems associated with persistent xenobiotic pollutants (polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], polybrominated diphenyl ethers [PBDEs] and organochlorines [OCs]). 4. The transfer, accumulation and magnification of persistent pollutants were related to site-specific environmental conditions, biological traits, food web structure and chemical characteristics, and were sufficient for widespread, hazardous levels of contamination. Across river systems, pollutant body burdens could be linked to putative structural and functional effects that appeared to be networked through food webs. 5. Overall, these data indicate the importance of natural processes in influencing the potential effects of persistent pollutants in freshwater ecosystems. Risk assessments that incorporate the variation present in natural systems are required to improve understanding of the role of xenobiotic pollutants in global environmental change across freshwater ecosystems.

    DIVERSITY OF BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATES IN MARGARACA FOREST STREAMS (PORTUGAL). Manuela Abelho Departamento de Zoologia, Universldadc de Coimbra, 3000 Coimbra, Portugal Palabras Clave: biodiversidad, comunidades de macroinvertebrados acu6ticos, grupos funcionalcs Keywords: biodiversity, stream macroinvertebrate communities, functional fceding groups. ABSTRACT Structure and diversity of the benthic macroinvertcbrate fauna were st~tdiedin two deciduous forest streams in Central Portugal. In the three sampling occasions. 120 tax-cl were collected from the two streams. Number of tci,xci per sampling occasion ranged from 53 to 60. Macroinvertebrate densities ranged from 1465 to 2365. Insects were the most abundant taxonomic group (280 ?h) in all samples. Detritivorous invertebrates were numerically dominant in both streams, representing 62 to 85 5% of the total macroinvertebratc community. INTRODUCTION terrestrial insects have aquatic larval instars, their development depends on the surrounding vegetalion in two ways; while thcy Margaraqa Forcst is a Natural Rcservc (Protected Area of live underwater and after their emergencc as terrestrial adults.

It is a very old forest Thus. it is possible that thc aquatic communities arc also posi- tlotninated by chestnuts (Cnstnrlecl scitiva Miller) and oaks tively influenced by the high plant species diversity of the forest.

  • Larvae of Gryporhynchid Cestodes (Cyclophyllidea) from Fish: a Review
    FOLIA PARASITOLOGICA 51: 131–152, 2004 REVIEW ARTICLE Larvae of gryporhynchid cestodes (Cyclophyllidea) from fish: a review Tomáš Scholz1,2, Rodney A. Bray3, Roman Kuchta1,2, Radmila Řepová1 1Institute of Parasitology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and 2Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of South Bohemia, Branišovská 31, 370 05 České Budějovice, Czech Republic; 3Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Key words: Gryporhynchidae, Dilepididae, metacestodes, fish, species composition, host spectrum, distribution, review Abstract. Larvae (metacestodes) of tapeworms of the cyclophyllidean family Gryporhynchidae (previously included in the Dilepididae) occur in different internal organs of fresh- and brackish water fish (110 fish species of 27 families in 12 orders reported), which serve as the second intermediate hosts. The species composition, spectrum of fish hosts, sites of infection, and geographical distribution of gryporhynchids recorded from fish are reviewed here on the basis of literary data and examination of extensive material from helminthological collections. Metacestodes of the following genera have been found in fish: Amirthalingamia Bray, 1974 (1 species), Ascodilepis Guildal, 1960 (1), Cyclustera Fuhrmann, 1901 (4), Dendrouterina Fuhrmann, 1912 (1), Glossocercus Chandler, 1935 (3), Neogryporhynchus Baer et Bona, 1960 (1), Paradilepis Hsü, 1935 (5), Parvitaenia Burt, 1940 (2), and Valipora Linton, 1927 (3). However, most published records concern only three species, namely Neogryporhynchus cheilancristrotus (Wedl, 1855) from the intestinal lumen, Paradilepis scolecina (Rudolphi, 1819) from the liver and mesenteries, and Valipora campylancristrota (Wedl, 1855) from the gall bladder of cyprinids and other fish in the Palaearctic Region. Data on other species as well as reports from other regions are very scarce and almost no information is available from Australia, tropical Asia and South America.

Outside of Scotland, this species has only ever been found in two areas – the River Usk in Wales and the Wye near Hereford, where it is now thought to be extinct. As an endemic species, the UK population is of international significance. Surveys in the last 15 years have confirmed that the Northern February red is present in the Dee from Linn of Dee downstream, a number of Dee tributaries and along the River Spey.

The life cycle is annual, with slow growth in autumn-winter and fast growth in late summer and spring. The growth decreased two weeks before the Fall Equinox and increased two weeks after the Spring Equinox. The flight period spans from the end of May to the beginning of July. The presence of large sand particles in the gut of all studied nymphs is of note, and indicates that I. serricornis acts as a deposit- collector species. Nymphal food is principally composed of detritus, unicellular organisms and, in nymphs of intermediate or large size, Chironomidae larvae. Adult food is composed fundamentally of different types of pollen grains. Males usually have lower food content than females. Annual produc- tion of this species (~694–750 mg · m–2) is very high in relation to other previously studied Chloro- perlidae. This is probably largely responsible for I.
