          Abstract

          Resumen Antecedentes: El aumento de la salinidad en los ecosistemas continentales es uno de los factores que influye en la distribución, abundancia y desarrollo de los organismos. Entender cómo varía la tolerancia al estrés ambiental entre po blaciones sirve para predecir los efectos del cambio climático en especies localmente adaptadas a su ambiente abiótico. Objetivos: Evaluar el efecto de la salinidad en cuatro especies de gasterópodos nativos y dos introducidos por medio de su CL50 y CL90, y TL50 y TL90 en el estado de Tabasco. Métodos: A fin de calcular CL50, CL90 y los rangos de tolerancia aguda a la salinidad de dichas especies, se probaron concentraciones de 0 a 15 g/L. Se utilizaron tres réplicas y un testigo para cada una con 20 gasterópodos por réplica. La mortalidad se contabilizó cada hora hasta las 12 horas. Se utilizó el número de moluscos activos como un índice de tolerancia a la salinidad. Resultados: Las especies que registraron el menor rango de tolerancia fueron Aroapyrgus clenchi ≤ 0.30 g/L, Pyrgophorus coronatus ≤ 1.00 g/L y las de mayor rango fueron Pomacea flagellata, Tarebia granifera y Melanoides tuberculata ≤ 5 g/L Mexinauta impluviata ≤ 6 g/L. Se encontró una correlación inversa y significativa entre la concentración y el tiempo letal. Conclusiones: La tolerancia aguda a la salinidad entre las especies introducidas Tarebia granifera y Melanoides tuberculata no mostró diferencias importantes con Mexinauta impluviata y Pomacea flagellata, pero sí con Pyrgophorus coronatus y Aroapyrgus clenchi, que presentaron una tolerancia menor.

          Abstract Background: The increase of salinity in continental ecosystems is a factor influencing organisms’ distribution, abundan ce, and development. Understanding how tolerance to environmental stress varies among populations helps to predict the effects of climate change on species locally adapted to their abiotic environment. Goals: Assess the effect of salinity on 4 native and 2 introduced gastropod species in Tabasco, by means of their LC50 and LC90, and LT50 and LT90. Methods: Salinity concentrations from 0-15 g/L were tested to determine LC50 and LC90 and tolerance ranges to acute salinity in 4 native and 2 introduced gastropods. Each concentration had 3 replicates with a control and 20 gastropods in each one. Mortality was quantified every hour up to 12 hours. The number of active mollusks was used as a salinity tolerance index. Results: Aroapyrgus clenchi ≤ 0.30 g/L and Pyrgophorus coronatus ≤ 1.00 g/L were the least tolerant species, while Pomacea flagellata, Tarebia granifera, and Melanoides tuberculata ≤ 5 g/L and Mexinauta impluviata ≤ 6 g/L were the most tolerant. Correlation between concentration and lethal time was inverse and significant. Conclusions: For the introduced species Tarebia granifera and Melanoides tuberculata, acute tolerance to salinity was not significantly different than Mexinauta impluviata and Pomacea flagellata; whereas all 4 were significantly different than Pyrgophorus coronatus and Aroapyrgus clenchi that are less tolerant to salinity.

          Climate change and freshwater biodiversity: detected patterns, future trends and adaptations in northern regions.

          Current rates of climate change are unprecedented, and biological responses to these changes have also been rapid at the levels of ecosystems, communities, and species. Most research on climate change effects on biodiversity has concentrated on the terrestrial realm, and considerable changes in terrestrial biodiversity and species' distributions have already been detected in response to climate change. The studies that have considered organisms in the freshwater realm have also shown that freshwater biodiversity is highly vulnerable to climate change, with extinction rates and extirpations of freshwater species matching or exceeding those suggested for better-known terrestrial taxa. There is some evidence that freshwater species have exhibited range shifts in response to climate change in the last millennia, centuries, and decades. However, the effects are typically species-specific, with cold-water organisms being generally negatively affected and warm-water organisms positively affected. However, detected range shifts are based on findings from a relatively low number of taxonomic groups, samples from few freshwater ecosystems, and few regions. The lack of a wider knowledge hinders predictions of the responses of much of freshwater biodiversity to climate change and other major anthropogenic stressors. Due to the lack of detailed distributional information for most freshwater taxonomic groups and the absence of distribution-climate models, future studies should aim at furthering our knowledge about these aspects of the ecology of freshwater organisms. Such information is not only important with regard to the basic ecological issue of predicting the responses of freshwater species to climate variables, but also when assessing the applied issue of the capacity of protected areas to accommodate future changes in the distributions of freshwater species. This is a huge challenge, because most current protected areas have not been delineated based on the requirements of freshwater organisms. Thus, the requirements of freshwater organisms should be taken into account in the future delineation of protected areas and in the estimation of the degree to which protected areas accommodate freshwater biodiversity in the changing climate and associated environmental changes.
