Ecological but Not Biological Traits of European Riverine Invertebrates Respond Consistently to Anthropogenic Impacts
Original language description
AimTo determine which riverine invertebrate traits respond consistently to anthropogenic impacts across multiple biogeographic regions.LocationEurope.Time Period1981-2021.Major Taxa StudiedRiverine invertebrates.MethodsWe compiled a database of riverine invertebrate community time series for 673 sites across six European countries spanning six freshwater ecoregions. We compared trait responses to anthropogenic impacts (quantified as changes in 'ecological quality') among regions for seven 'ecological' traits, which reflect habitat preferences, and nine 'biological' traits (e.g., morphology or life history), which represent taxon-specific attributes that can influence ecosystem processes.ResultsFour ecological traits (current, microhabitat, salinity and trophic preferences) and one biological trait (dispersal mode) responded consistently across regions. These responses were primarily driven by spatial differences among poorer to better quality sites. Responses to temporal changes in quality were comparable but less pronounced.Main ConclusionsConsistent responses to anthropogenic impacts across multiple ecological traits indicate these traits may improve broader scale measurements, comparisons and predictions of community responses. However, we could not use ecological traits to identify the actions of specific stressors because multiple traits always responded as a group. Inconsistent responses across almost all biological traits indicated that these traits may be less predictive of impacts across regions. Predictions of how biological traits, and associated ecosystem processes, respond to anthropogenic impacts may be most effective at regional scales where responses are more consistent.
