Abstract |
In this study, we have explored composition and assemblage structure of aquatic Heteroptera from fifteen sampling sites along the Phong River of Thailand during the rainy (July, 2011), cool (December, 2011) and hot (March–April, 2012) seasons. A total of 8,399 individuals, belonging to 54 species, 12 families of aquatic Heteroptera were recorded. The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated significant difference of total number of species and total number of individuals of aquatic Heteroptera among microhabitat types (P < 0.05). Stepwise multiple regression and CCA ordination show that characteristics of microhabitats including percentage of gravel, percentage of aquatic macrophytes covering water surface and percentage of shading from riparian vegetation determine aquatic Heteroptera assemblage structures. From this study, microhabitats have more effect on aquatic Heteroptera than water pollution. |
