          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: Los peces de agua dulce pueden verse afectados negativamente por perturbaciones humanas como infraestructura, diques o canales y agricultura extensiva, que afectan la cubierta forestal y promueven la sedimentación. Objetivo: Evaluar la composición espacio-temporal de los peces de agua dulce y su relación con algunas variables físico-químicas del agua en tres ríos tropicales. Métodos: Trabajé en las cuencas Grande de Térraba y Esquinas, Costa Rica, en tres sitios de control y tres sitios con influencia de diques y canales. Tomé muestras dos veces al mes al final de la temporada de lluvias (octubre-diciembre de 2010) y el comienzo de la temporada seca (enero-marzo de 2011). Medí variables de calidad del agua y determiné el tipo de ambiente o sustrato, velocidad y altitud. Resultados: Capturé 742 peces (24 especies, 12 familias). Los más representativos fueron Astyanax aeneus (44%), Poeciliopsis retropinna (14%), Dormitator latifrons (8%), Priapichthys panamensis (7%), Cryptotheros sajica (6%) y Brachyrhaphis roseni (4%). No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los sitios. Conclusión: Las fluctuaciones de las variables ambientales y las tendencias en la abundancia, riqueza y distribución de peces no difirieron entre los sitios de control y los sitios afectados antropológicamente.

          Abstract Introduction: Freshwater fish can be negatively affected by human disturbances like infrastructure, dikes or canals, and extensive agriculture, which affect forest cover and promote sedimentation. Objetive: To evaluate the spatio- temporal composition of freshwater fish and its relationship with some physical-chemical water variables in three tropical rivers. Methods: I worked in the Grande de Térraba y Esquinas basins, Costa Rica, in three control sites and three sites with dike and channel influence. I sampled twice a month at the end of the rainy season (October-December, 2010) and the beginning of the dry season (January-March, 2011). I measured water quality variables and determined the type of environment or substrate, speed and altitude. Results: I captured 742 fish (24 species, 12 families). The most representative were Astyanax aeneus (44%), Poeciliopsis retropinna (14%), Dormitator latifrons (8%), Priapichthys panamensis (7%), Cryptotheros sajica (6%) and Brachyrhaphis roseni (4%). There were no statistically significant differences among sites. Conclusion: The fluctuations of environmental variables, and the trends in fish abundance, richness, and distribution, did not differ among control sites and anthropologically affected sites.

            Beta diversity as the variance of community data: dissimilarity coefficients and partitioning.

            Beta diversity can be measured in different ways. Among these, the total variance of the community data table Y can be used as an estimate of beta diversity. We show how the total variance of Y can be calculated either directly or through a dissimilarity matrix obtained using any dissimilarity index deemed appropriate for pairwise comparisons of community composition data. We addressed the question of which index to use by coding 16 indices using 14 properties that are necessary for beta assessment, comparability among data sets, sampling issues and ordination. Our comparison analysis classified the coefficients under study into five types, three of which are appropriate for beta diversity assessment. Our approach links the concept of beta diversity with the analysis of community data by commonly used methods like ordination and anova. Total beta can be partitioned into Species Contributions (SCBD: degree of variation of individual species across the study area) and Local Contributions (LCBD: comparative indicators of the ecological uniqueness of the sites) to Beta Diversity. Moreover, total beta can be broken up into within- and among-group components by manova, into orthogonal axes by ordination, into spatial scales by eigenfunction analysis or among explanatory data sets by variation partitioning. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd/CNRS.
