Mayflies and drought ? how survive in the intermittent streams?
Original language description
Global climate change brings to Central Europe remarkable alterations in hydrological regime ? more frequent floods and also quite new phenomena ? drying up of the small watercourses. In the Czech Republic, small streams and rivers (up to 4th Strahler order) constitute 80% of length of all watercourses. According to climate models, we expect that drought will be crucial problem in the future. The ongoing project "Drying up of streams during climate change" (acronym BIODROUGHT) is focused on the impact of drought on macroinvertebrate communities and the main goal of this project is to develop a method of retrospective biological indication of dry episodes based on the analysis of taxonomic and functional composition of macroinvertebrate assemblages. Oneof the most drought sensitive taxa are mayflies (Ephemeroptera). In this project, we compared mayfly taxocenoses in permanent and intermittent streams in the Czech Republic.
