The database includes records of 37 sampling events from 10 water bodies from the Ukrainian part of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Sampling took place 24-31 July 2021. The database contains 198 records of 37 benthic invertebrate species belonging to phylums Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca. The database includes findings of both bottom-living and plant-living benthic invertebrates. The study was carried out with the support of the National Research Fund of Ukraine (project No. 2020.02/0264). https://www.gbif.org/dataset/f4cc78fc-686c-426b-b119-a1967fbf16f2

Records of macrozoobenthos organisms in several water bodies of Ukraine during 2007-2021

July 2022

Volodymyr Liashenko

The database includes 844 records of 166 species of benthic invertebrates belonging to phylums Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca. Most of the records were carried out on the territory of the objects of the Nature Reserve Fund of Ukraine — Danube Biosphere Reserve, Pyriatyn National Nature Park, Hetmanskyi National Nature Park. The research area includes the rivers Danube, Udai, Vorskla and Ros, ... [Show full abstract] as well as several small water bodies of the Rzhyshchiv territorial community. The database includes findings of bottom-living and plant-living benthic invertebrates. https://www.gbif.org/dataset/b394cf35-d6d1-4d9d-9d5b-693229207b02

Community Dynamics and Population Structure of Macro-Zoobenthos: An Evaluation of the Ecological Hea...

January 2025 · UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY

Macro-zoobenthos are aquatic benthic invertebrates that inhabit freshwater ecosystems and act as bioindicators of ecosystem health. This study evaluates the ecological health of the snow-fed Kali River system of Uttarakhand, India, by examining macrozoobenthos taxonomy, diversity, and ecological dynamics. Monthly samples were collected on a yearly basis from three ecologically distinct sites ... [Show full abstract] along the river, using stratified sampling methods. Standard methods were used for benthos collection, identification, classification, species diversity, and alpha-beta diversity indices. Taxonomic identification and diversity index analysis revealed 79 genera and 2,458 individuals from three major phyla: Arthropoda (52 families, 76 species), Annelida (1 family, 1 species), and Mollusca (2 families, 2 species). Diversity indices, including Simpson (0.69-0.79), are highest in July and lowest in December. Shannon Wiener (H') index values (1.37 to 1.74) peaked in June and dipped in January. The evenness index (0.66 to 0.80) was highest in July and lowest in December. Margalef Index (0.91 to 1.54) peaked in August and was lowest in January. Equitability index values (0.73 to 0.89) were highest in July and lowest in September. Whittaker's beta diversity analysis yielded a value of 0.4433, signifying substantial dissimilarity in community composition. These findings highlight macrozoobenthos as vital bioindicators, offering key data for river management and biodiversity. They also highlight the need for long-term monitoring and physicochemical integration.

Macrozoobenthos of spring complexes on the territory of the Grodno region

May 2023 · Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Biological Series

The taxonomic structure of the macrozoobenthos of 11 springs of the Grodno region has been established. There were identified 53 lower definable taxon (LDT) belonging to 4 types of aquatic invertebrates: Platyhelminthes – 1 LDT, Mollusca – 10, Annelida – 5, Arthropoda – 37 LDT. Among the identified animals, 23 species were first noted for the springs of the Grodno region. The fauna of the studied ... [Show full abstract] aquatic invertebrates of the springs of the Grodno region represented by rare and protected species of animals not only in Belarus, but also in Europe. Springs are a special type of natural reservoirs, which are inhabited by a specific fauna – one of the important components of the overall biological diversity of water bodies in Belarus. The most species of the fauna of the studied springs is formed by species exhibiting cryophilic properties, some of these animals are obvious relics of the Ice Age. The ways of penetration of these species into the modern fauna of Belarus are also not yet fully understood.

MACROZOOBENTHOS DIVERSITY OF SAI RIVER AT RAEBARELI, INDIA

January 2021 · International Journal on Biological Sciences

Macrozoobenthos are the best indicators of the stress in the aquatic ecosystem. Distribution of macrozoobenthos is determined by a number of factors such as physical nature of the substratum, depth, nutritive content of the water body. Present study was conducted to assess the diversity of macrozoobenthos of Sai River, Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh during July 2020 to June 2021. During the present ... [Show full abstract] investigation, a total number of 24genera of macrozoobenthic fauna were recorded from one year of investigation. Observations revealed that phylum Mollusca acquires dominant position with 45.83% of total faunal composition while phylum Annelida constitutes 29.16% and comes on second position whereas, least faunal abundance was found from phylum Arthropoda which contributes about 25%.
