Diversity patterns of aquatic specialists and generalists: contrasts among two spring-fen mesohabitats and nearby streams

Original language description

Habitat specialists and generalists are known to differ in their width of environmental tolerance and their representation can vary along with the ecological contrast of habitats. In this study we explore factors shaping patterns of species richness and abundance of aquatic macroinvertebrate habitat specialists and generalists at isolated spring fens, separately for spring patch and spring brook mesohabitats at each site. We also examined habitat contrast of these unique island-like communities by the comparison of spring fen specialists and habitat generalists shared between the two spring fen mesohabitats and the nearest stream to each of 13 selects fen sites. Aquatic macroinvertebrates (Clitellata, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, and Diptera) were investigated at 62 isolated spring fens, with 357 taxa identified in more than 172,000 individuals collected. We found that specialists experienced a stronger relation to local environmental conditions (i.e.
