Overview

Analysis reveals that landscape patterns affect functional diversity in macroinvertebrate communities, highlighting conservation needs.

Key Points

  • Functional diversity of macroinvertebrates is mainly influenced by landscape heterogeneity in upstream areas.
  • Significant spatial heterogeneity was found in macroinvertebrate community composition, confirmed by NMDS and PERMANOVA analyses.
  • Nine landscape metrics were analyzed, with random forest modeling identifying fragmentation impacts downstream.
  • Taxonomic diversity indices showed no significant correlations with landscape metrics, stressing the need to evaluate functional diversity.
