          Abstract

          Los ríos varían espacial y temporalmente en sus características físicas, comunidades biológicas y procesos, su estudio es complejo dada su heterogeneidad, aspecto que motivó a realizar esta investigación durante 2010, encaminada a determinar la composición y estructura de macroinvertebrados teniendo en cuenta diferentes sustratos en un gradiente altitudinal en corrientes andinas. Se registraron 74 taxones distribuidos en 42 familias y 13 órdenes. Las familias más abundantes fueron Chironomidae (Diptera), Leptohyphidae, Leptophlebiidae, Baetidae (Ephemeroptera), Hydropsychidae y Glossosomatidae (Trichoptera). La densidad media de macroinvertebrados acuáticos no mostró diferencias significativas entre estaciones y entre sustratos (P > 0,05, U de Mann-Whitney). Se evidenciaron diferencias en el ensamblaje de macroinvertebrados de acuerdo con el tipo de sustrato, pero no a nivel de tramos; posteriormente, se revelaron diferencias significativas entre arena - grava/guijarro, y arena - roca (ANOSIM, R = 0.3894, P < 0,01), pero no entre las corrientes evaluadas (ANOSIM, R = 0.95, P > 0,05). La diversidad de Shannon Wiener (H) fue significativamente más baja en el sustrato arena con respecto a los de roca y grava/guijarro (U de Mann-Whitney: Zobs = -2,8 y Zobs = -3,2, respectivamente; P < 0,05), mientras que entre estaciones no se registraron diferencias significativas (U de Mann-Whitney: P > 0,05). A nivel altitudinal los taxones Chironominae, Orthocladiinae, Tanypodinae, Baetodes, Camelobaetidius, Leptohyphes, Thraulodes y Smicridea se registraron en todas las estaciones.

          Rivers change spatially and temporally in their physical properties and processes and biological communities. Their study is complex because of their heterogeneity, aspect that motivated to do this research in 2010, aimed to determine the composition and structure of macroinvertebrates, taking into account different substrates through an altitudinal gradient in Andean streams. There were 74 taxa distributed in 42 families and 13 orders. The most abundant families were Chironomidae (Diptera), Leptohyphidae, Leptophlebiidae, Baetidae (Ephemeroptera), Hydropsychidae and Glossosomatidae (Trichoptera). The average density of aquatic macroinvertebrates showed no significant differences between seasons and between substrates (P > 0.05, Mann-Whitney U). There were differences in the macroinvertebrate assemblages according to the type of substrate, but not at the level of river sections; subsequently revealed significant differences were later shown between Sand-Gravel / Pebble, and Sand - Rock (ANOSIM , R = 0.3894, P < 0.01), but not between streams evaluated (ANOSIM, R = 0.95, P > 0.05). Shannon-Wiener diversity (H) was significantly lower in the sandy substrate with respect to the substrates rock and gravel / pebble (Mann-Whitney U: Zobs = -2.8 and Zobs = -3.2, respectively; P < 0.05), while between stations there was no significant difference (Mann-Whitney U: P > 0.05). Altitudinally Chironominae, Orthocladiinae, Tanypodinae, Baetodes, Camelobaetidius, Leptohyphes, Thraulodes and Smicridea were recorded in all stations.
