AB  - Benthic communities contain some of the most threatened organisms in aquatic habitats due to different anthropogenic pressures. The high abundance of microplastics in sediments will continue to increase in the future, further increasing the probability of interactions between macroinvertebrates and microplastics. In the present study, a benthic community in a relatively pristine shallow pond was exposed either to an environmentally relevant high concentration of a microplastic mixture of 80 g m-2 in the sediment, or a control sediment, without the addition of microplastics. The mixture of microplastics contained irregularly shaped polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyamide in a ratio of 50:25:25%, respectively. The in situ experiment lasted for 100 d. The total number of taxa that colonized the microcosms was 22 (17 in the control and 18 in the microplastic treatment), and the colonization was not affected by the treatment. The most dominant group within the macroinvertebrate community was the dipteran family Chironomidae, in both the control and the microplastic treatment. No significant differences in the abundance and biomass at a community level were recorded between the groups by permutational multivariate analysis of variance (F = 0.993, p = 0.456 and F = 0.344, p = 0.797, respectively). The mixture of microplastics did not influence the abundance or biomass of the functional feeding groups (F = 1.810, p = 0.137 and F = 0.377, p = 0.736, respectively). The species richness, species abundance, species biomass, Shannon's diversity index, and Simpson's index of diversity showed no statistically significant differences between the control and treatment groups. Czekanowski's quantitative similarity index indicated that 84% of the community remained unaffected after microplastic exposure. Environ Toxicol Chem 2021;00:1-8. © 2021 SETAC.

AB  - Benthic communities represent one of the most threatened organisms in aquatic habitats due to accumulation of plastic particles in sediments. High abundance of MPs in aquatic habitats indicate higher probability of macroinvertebrates to ingest microplastic particles. Benthic community was exposed to high concentration of MPs, 80 g m-2 in sediment, and control, without addition of MPs. Mixture of MPs contained polyethylene (PE), polyvynil-chloride (PVC) and polyamide (PA) in a ratio of 50%: 25%: 25%, respectively. In situ experiment lasted for 100 days. Total number of taxa that colonized the trays were 22 (17 in control, 18 in HC treatment). Most dominant group within macroinvertebrate community was dipteran family Chironomidae, both in control and HC treatment. No significant differences in abundance and biomass at community level between control and HC treatment was recorded by PERMANOVA ((F=0.993; p=0.456 and F=0.344; p=0.797, respectively). Mixture of microplastics did not influence abundance and biomass of functional feeding groups within macroinvertebrate community (F=1.810; p=0.137 and F=0.377; p=0.736, respectively). Species richness (S), species abundance (N), biomass (B), Shannon's diversity index (H) and Simpson's index (D) showed no statistically significant differences between the control and treatment groups.

AB  - The chironomid community in non-wadeable lotic systems was tested as a source of information in the construction of biological metrics which could be used into the bioassessment protocols of large rivers. In order to achieve this, we simultaneously patterned the chironomid community structure and environmental factors along the catchment of the Danube and Sava River. The Self organizing map (SOM) recognized and visualized three different structural types of chironomid community for different environmental properties, described by means of 7 significant abiotic factors (a multi-stressor gradient). Indicator species analysis revealed that the chironomid taxa most responsible for structural changes significantly varied in their abundance and frequency along the established environmental gradients. Out of 40 biological metrics based on the chironomid community, the multilayer perceptron (MLP), an supervised type of artificial neural network, derived 5 models in which the abundance of Paratrichocladius rufiventis, Orthocladiinae, Cricotopus spp., Cricotopus triannulatus agg. and Cricotopus/Orthocladius ratio achieved a significant relationship (the r Pearson's linear correlation coefficient > 0.7) with the multi stressor environment. The sensitivity analysis “partial derivatives” (PaD) method showed that all 5 biological metrics within the multi-stressor gradient were mostly influenced by dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Despite short and monotonous environmental gradients and the absence of reference conditions, the chironomid community structure and biological metrics predictably changed along the multistress range, showing a great potential for the bioassessment of large rivers.

AB  - Community concordance within aquatic biota could provide useful information for improving the methods used in bioassessment and biodiversity conservation management. The main goal of the study was to investigate the mechanism of community concordance between macroinvertebrates and fish in a single river basin (South Morava river Basin, Serbia). In order to achieve this, a Self organizing map (SOM) ordinated and classified sampling sites based on the community structures of five different taxa groups (macroinveretbrates (MIB), fish (FSH), Chironomidae (CHI), Macroinvertebrates without Chironomidae (MWC) and the Ephemeroptera Plecoptera Trichioptera group (EPT)). SOM also revealed 6 environmental gradients along the groups tested that significantly changed their community structures. Using the results of the SOM analysis as the input, the Mantel test quantified the highest community concordance between FSH and MIB (r = 0.42) followed by FSH and CHI (r = 0.29). The lowest concordance was recorded between FSH and EPT (r = 0.14). The indicator species analysis (IndVal) revealed 39 species to be responsible for the community patterns obtained. The Geo-SOM visualized the spatial distribution of the IndVal taxa, revealing the generators of community concordance. The strength of community concordance depends on the variability of the data on the aquatic biota. Thus, having an appropriate sampling and statistical design as well as high taxonomic resolution, as some of the factors which increase the variability in the data set, could present community concordance between fish and macroinvertebrates in an unbiased way.
