Influence of eucalyptus plantations on benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in neotropical springs
Influência de plantações de eucalipto na comunidade de macroinvertebrados bentônicos em nascentes neotropicais

Abstract
Results: The t-test showed that some environmental variables differed, with the eucalyptus areas having higher values of total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity, and lower values of coarse sand. In the present study, the richness and diversity of the benthic fauna of springs were significantly lower in eucalyptus sites than in native sites. Nonetheless, the composition of the communities did not differ. The Indicator Species Analysis (IndVal) associated Acari, Hydropsychidae, Leptoceridae, Nematoda, Psychodidae, and Tipulidae with areas of native forest.
