The analysis of the size-age population structure was performed for this species for the first time. In 2018, the spring and autumn state of the M. affinis population differed. The contribution to the total number of young crustaceans with a body length of 1.5–2.0 mm and 2.1–3.0 mm in May and September was distinguished. The number of these two size groups changed inversely from May to September, which indicated the growth processes of juveniles. The total contribution of young crustaceans to the total population at different stations varied within 40–50% in May and 20–40% in September. Based on the analysis of size-frequency histograms and the method of principal components, two age cohorts of crustaceans with a body length of 3.1–7.0 mm (the first cohort, age 1 year) and 7.1–10.0 mm (the second cohort, age 2 years) were identified. The proportion of the first cohort in the total population of M. affinis was on average 12% in May and September. The proportion of the second cohort in May was on average 2%, and in September it increased to 8%. The data obtained are in good agreement with two age cohorts of M. affinis in other lakes of Karelia.","PeriodicalId":486879,"journal":{"name":"Trudy Zoologičeskogo instituta","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135865467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the features of spatial distribution of macroinvertebrates as well as to identify the driving factors of this dynamics, the data on species richness, abundance and biomass of EPT taxa (mayfly, stonefly, caddisfly) from 21 small mountain rivers of Altai were analyzed. By location, all rivers were divided into 4 groups: the ones running in the low-mountain (<1000 m asl) zone, in the low (1000–1500) and upper (1500–2000) parts of the middle mountains and in the high-mountain (>2000 m asl) zone. A total of 71 EPT macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded in the studied streams. Species richness (according to the average species number per sample) as well as abundance and biomass of macroinvertebrates decreased with an increase in altitude. The maximum variance in structural indicators of communities appeared due to the combined influence of the location of the altitudinal zone and phytoplankton development level (estimated by the content of chlorophyll a). At the same time, categorical predictors (both abiotic and biotic) included in the analysis better explained the variability of diversity-related indicators than that of abundance and biomass. When developing the environmental monitoring programs for mountain watercourses, the identified trends in reduction (with altitude) of species richness of macroinvertebrate taxa responsible for the formation of taxonomically poor and strongly vulnerable communities in high-altitude areas should be taken into account.","PeriodicalId":486879,"journal":{"name":"Trudy Zoologičeskogo instituta","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135865470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
