The influence of mesoscale habitat conditions on the macroinvertebrate composition of springs in a geologically homogeneous area

Original language description

We analyzed the composition of spring fauna in relation to the mesoscale variability in environmental conditions in 77 permanent springs in a geologically homogenous area. We hypothesized that the species would occur in definite patterns reflecting the differences in factors that operate at the spring-level scale. We focused on the differences resulting from spring morphology, substrate composition, shading, and water chemistry. Our goal was to identify the abiotic variables that control the character of interspecies associations. The spring assemblages comprised species of 9 higher taxonomic groups (Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Turbellaria, Crustacea, Mollusca, Oligochaeta, Hydracarina). We used binomial regression successfully to construct single-species environmental models for several of the most abundant taxa. The most important factors explaining the species? occurrence were hydromorphological and substrate characteristics. Results of nonmetric multidimensional s
