Item Epigean and subterranean ichthyofauna from the São Domingos karst area, Upper Tocantins River basin, Central Brazil(Journal of Fish Biology, 2003) Bichuette, Maria Elina; Trajano, Eleonora- Feeding in the dark: are stonefly nymphs good indicators of reference conditions for cave streams? A case study using gut content analysis in Brazilian quartzite caves(2020-02-11) Costa, Bárbara Goulart; Ferreira, Rodrigo Lopes; Pellegrini, Thais GiovanniniBenthic macroinvertebrates are considered important bioindicators of water quality, and their distribution is influenced by several factors, including food availability. This feeding is an essential factor for all living beings and determines aspects of temporal and spatial population dynamics and relations between individuals and their respective habitats. The present work aimed to analyze the diet of nymphs of the order Plecoptera associated with quartzite caves located in southern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The stomach contents of 79 specimens were analyzed, and many were empty (40.5 %). Among the nymphs with stomach contents, the most frequent content was fine particulate organic matter. The high amount of individuals with empty content may indicate a low tolerance of these organisms to subterranean environments.
