Abstract In this study, we sampled stream benthos using rapid bioassessment methods (i.e., D-nets, coarse taxonomy) from sites in and around Toronto, Ontario that represented a range of stream characteristics (e.g., drainage areas). The protocols were developed by or adapted from: (1) Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, (2) Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, (3) Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring Network/Ministry of the Environment, and (4) Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network/Environment Canada. Summary indices (Hilsenhoff's modified Biotic Index [HBI]; percent of fauna as Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera [% EPT]; number of taxa [S]; and Shannon's Diversity Index [H']) calculated from the resulting data were used to evaluate differences between protocols in a series of analyses including analysis of variance and variance components analysis. The study found that sampling method was an unimportant source of variation in summary index values relative to other factors such as the stream or year sampled. The largest percent variance amongst stream or year factors (main and interactions) was at least three times greater than the corresponding method related percent variances. The results of this study suggest that these four bioassessment methods are interchangeable within the context of large geographic scales or for the detection of major impacts. In cases where impacts to the benthic community are subtle, protocols should include one or more of discrete habitat sampling, replication, and lower taxonomic resolution. The data and findings here may help agencies integrate different sampling protocols into their biomonitoring and assessment programs.

ABSTRAK Makrozoobentos merupakan hewan makroinvertebrata yang menetap di dasar perairan baik sesil, merayap maupun menggali lubang. Beberapa alasan menjadikan makrozoobentos sebagai bioindikator adalah makrozoobentos relatif diam di dasar perairan sehingga terdedah oleh air, pendedahan yang terus menerus menyebabkan makrozoobentos dipengaruhi oleh kegiatan lingkungan dan perubahan tersebut dapat mempengaruhi keanekaragamannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keanekaragaman makrozoobentos di Sungai Talawaan. Lokasi penelitian terletak di Sungai Talawaan, Minahasa Utara, Sulawesi Utara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Purposive Random Sampling dengan menggunakan alat jaring surber. Total individu yang didapatkan dari 3 stasiun sebanyak 191 individu dengan jumlah ordo sebanyak 6 yang terdiri dari 14 genus. Genus makrozoobentos yang paling banyak ditemukan pada ke 3 stasiun yaitu Ephemeroptera, Tricoptera dan Coleoptera. Nilai total ke 3 Stasiun termasuk pada kelompok tercemar ringan dengan Indeks keanekaragaman > 2,0 yaitu 2,01. Kata Kunci: Makrozoobentos, Sungai Talawaan, Indeks Keanekaragaman, Minahasa Utara-Sulawesi Utara.   DIVERSITY MACROZOOBENTHOS IN TALAWAAN RIVER NORTH MINAHASA, NORTH SULAWESI ABSTRACT Macrozoobenthos is macroinvertebrate animals that live in the waters of both sessile base, edging and dig a hole. Several reasons make macrozoobenthos bioindicator is macrozoobenthos relatively silent in the bottom waters that were exposed by the water, continuous exposure causes macrozoobenthos influenced by environmental activities and these change may affect biodiversity. This study aims to analyze the diversity of macrozoobenthos in the River Talawaan. Location of the study lies in Talawaan River, North Minahasa, North Sulawesi. The study used Purposive Random Sampling method by using a surber net. Total individuals who come from 3 to as many 191 individual station with the order many as 6 which consists of 14 gems.

ABSTRACT   Aquatic insects are one of the organisms that are used in determining water contamination. Aquatic insects are sensitive to the presence of waste dumped in the river and some are resistant to such waste. One of insect resistant waste is Chironomidae. The research objective was to determine aquatic insect species, population abundance by calculating indices diversity and biotic index. Aquatic insects in the lake watershed Tondano were collected by kicks and Hand Picking. Result showed that seven orders, theerteen families and sixteen species had been identified. The number of highest aquatic insect was found in Noogan which were 13 species, whereas in karondoran were 9 species. Aquatic insects were identified including, Heptagenia sp, sp Baetis sp, Caenis sp., Hydropsyhe, sp and Chrironomidae. The highest aquatic insect populations were collected in Karondoran followed by Winebetan and Noogan. The highest diversity index of aquatic insects was found in Winebetan whereas the lowest was in Karondoran. The lowest value of the biotic index was identified in the region Noogan suggested that water in Noogan area was clean water compared to Winebetan and Karondoran.

Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze. is an endangered Brazilian coniferous tree that has been almost exterminated in the native areas because of uncontrolled wood exploitation. This tree has been shown to be highly dependent on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and, therefore, AMF may be essential for forest sustainability and biological diversity. Root colonization, density and diversity of AMF spores were assessed in two Araucaria forest stands at the State Park of Alto Ribeira (PETAR), at two sampling dates: May and October. A comparison was made between a mature native stand composed of Araucaria trees mixed into a variety of tropical trees and shrubs, without any sign of anthropogenic interference (FN) and an Araucaria stand planted in 1987 (R), which has been used as a pasture. Assessments included percent root colonization, AMF spore numbers and species richness, Simpson's dominance index (Is), and Shannon's diversity index (H). Mycorrhizal root colonization did not differ between ecosystems in May. In October, however, the native stand (FN) presented a higher colonization than the planted forest (R), and the root colonization was more intense than in May. When considering both sampling periods and forests, 27 species of AM fungi, with higher numbers of spores in FN than in R were found. Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) indicated Shannon's diversity index as the ecological attribute that contributed the most to distinguish between forest ecosystems, with higher value of H in FN in relation to R. CDA showed to be a useful tool for the study of ecological attributes.
