However, tests of the seasonal variation in assembly mechanisms of macroinvertebrates in wetlands with differing hydroperiods are rare, especially in the Neotropical region. We tested for seasonal patterns in the metacommunity assembly mechanisms of macroinvertebrates in small subtropical highland wetlands of southern Brazil with different hydroperiods. We also tested whether patterns varied between macroinvertebrate taxa with different dispersal modes. Macroinvertebrates were sampled in 12 wetlands classified into “short,” “medium,” and “long” hydroperiods (<i>N</i> = 4 in each category) in three seasons (fall, winter, and spring) over two full hydrological cycles (from 2012 to 2014). We assessed the role of spatial and environmental variables to metacommunity structure using distance-based redundancy analysis and variation partitioning. Environmental and spatial variables explained macroinvertebrate metacommunity structure, although their relative influence markedly changed among seasons and hydroperiods. Environmental variables were important in fall and winter, whereas spatial variables predominated in spring. Different environmental variables influenced the metacommunity structure in each hydroperiod. Environmental variables influenced active-dispersing macroinvertebrates, whereas the influence of environmental and spatial variables on passive-dispersing taxa changed among seasons. We showed that the assembly mechanisms of macroinvertebrate metacommunities show a distinct temporal dynamic among wetlands with different hydroperiods.

Thus, floodplains are a key to improving river water quality. Yet, the factors that determine the amount of fine sediment that deposits on floodplains are largely unknown. Plant diversity typically increases structural diversity, whereas the vegetation structure and the structural characteristics of individual species are known to influence sedimentation. We hypothesised that species diversity, in addition to species identity, may promote sediment retention. Our study aimed to disentangle the effects of species richness and species identity, via differences in vegetation structure, on sediment retention within herbaceous vegetation patches. In a flume experiment, we investigated sedimentation on 30 vegetation patches (40 × 60 cm²). We created patches with five different species-richness levels (3, 4, 6, 8, and 11 species), each replicated six times. Species were randomly selected from 14 common floodplain species. We inundated the patches with silt- and clay-rich water and measured the amount of accumulated sediment on the vegetation and on the ground underneath it. Species richness significantly increased sedimentation underneath the vegetation (<i>R</i>² = 0.17). However, including species identity effects in a structural equation model, we showed that individual species' presence largely drove these effects. <i>Alopecurus pratensis</i> had a direct negative effect on sedimentation on the vegetation, whereas <i>Bromus inermis</i> and <i>Elymus repens</i> had indirect positive effects through an increase in total biomass (<i>R</i>² = 0.42). <i>Elymus repens</i> had a direct negative, and <i>Urtica dioica</i> a direct positive effect on sedimentation underneath the vegetation (<i>R</i>² = 0.38). Our results indicate that selecting the most effective species, rather than as many species as possible, may have the greatest benefits for promoting sedimentation.

Such a change of sex structure was observed in the mussel <i>Mytilus galloprovincialis</i> at the Black Sea coast of Crimea, where the sex ratio shifted toward male mussels. This pattern may be caused by the sex inversion in females, higher female mortality, and their falling off to the bottom. Experiments with cultivated mussels <i>M. galloprovincialis</i> were conducted in natural and laboratory conditions to identify the reasons for this phenomenon. The inversion of the mussel sex proceeds in one direction: from females to males. The change of sex occurs under the influence of environmental factors during the post-spawning restructuring of gonads. Such factors can be adverse hydrological and hydrochemical conditions; environmental pollution; food availability; age and size of mollusks. The sex inversion of mussels in the polluted water area was 20% higher than in the relatively clean water of the mussel farm. The higher mortality of mussel females (69%) in the polluted area as compared to the clean one (19%) was also observed. In a laboratory experiment, the mortality level of females was 34% higher than that of males. The sex ratio on the farm, 1:2.9 (♀:♂), and on the bottom under the farm, 2.6:1 (♀:♂), was found, and the predominance of females at the bottom under the farm was noted.
