Impact drought on mayfly taxocoenoses
Original language description
Global climate change nowadays is a frequently discussed topic. In Central Europe it brings new phenomena, like more frequent floods and drying up of watercourses. The project "Drying up of streams during climate change" (acronym BIODROUGHT) is focused on drying up of brooks and small rivers (up to the 4th Strahler's order). One of the project's aims is to develop a method of retrospective biological indication of dry episodes based on the analysis of taxonomic and functional composition of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages. Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are known for their sensitivity to disturbances, therefore they are often used for bioindication. That is also why we first compared their taxocenoses between permanent and intermittent brooks of the Czech Republic.
