Based on literature review and malacological collections, 168 native freshwater bivalve and five invasive species have been recorded for 52 hydrographic regions in South America. The higher species richness has been detected in the South Atlantic, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Amazon Brazilian hydrographic regions. Presence or absence data were analysed by Principal Coordinate for Phylogeny-Weighted. The lineage Veneroida was more representative in hydrographic regions that are poorer in species and located West of South America. The Mycetopodidae and Hyriidae lineages were predominant in regions that are richest in species toward the East of the continent. The distribution of invasive species Limnoperna fortunei is not related to species richness in different hydrographic regions there. The species richness and its distribution patterns are closely associated with the geological history of the continent. The hydrographic regions present distinct phylogenetic and species composition regardless of the level of richness. Therefore, not only should the richness be considered to be a criterion for prioritizing areas for conservation, but also the phylogenetic diversity of communities engaged in services and functional aspects relevant to ecosystem maintenance. A plan to the management of this fauna according to particular ecological characteristics and human uses of hydrographic regions is needed.

LA ALMEJA DE AGUA DULCE DIPLODON CHILENSIS (BIVALVIA:HYRIIDAE) POTENCIAL BIOFILTRO PARA DISMINUIR LOS NIVELES DE COLIFORMES EN POZOS: EXPERIMENTO DE LABORATORIO

Gladys Lara; Angel Contreras; Francisco Encina

Estudios realizados en comunidades rurales de la IX Region, donde habitan familias que se abastecen con agua de pozo, se han detectado indices de coliformes fecales de hasta 5400 NMP en 100 ml, especialmente en pozos de baja profundidad. Considerando la capacidad de bombeo y de filtracion de la almeja de agua dulce Diplodon chilensis, se realizo esta investigacion tendiente a evaluar en el laboratorio la capacidad de las almejas para disminuir los niveles de coliformes en aguas de pozo asi como de digerir la carga bacteriologica. Los resultados de los experimentos llevaron a concluir que densidades de 15 y 25 ejemplares en 30 litros de agua fueron capaces de disminuir la turbidez del agua y el numero mas probable de coliformes en un periodo de 6 horas siendo ademas capaces de digerirlas

ALIMENTACION Y CONDUCTA ALIMENTARIA DE LA ALMEJA DE AGUA DULCE DIPLODON CHILENSIS (BIVALVIA: HYRIIDAE)

Gladys Lara; Esperanza Parada; Santiago Peredo

Con el proposito de conocer cualitativamente la alimentacion y la conducta alimentaria de la almeja de agua dulce Diplodon chilensis, se analizo mediante estudios de laboratorio y de campo el comportamiento alimentario y el contenido digestivo de especimenes procedentes de sustratos areno-pedregosos y arenosos del Lago Panguipulli y se relaciono con la oferta ambiental existente en el sustrato (fitobentos) y en el agua (fito-plancton). El analisis del contenido digestivo de los especimenes y los resultados experimentales, indican que Diplodon chilensis tiene una alimentacion mixta en base a fitoplancton, fitobentos y materia organica existente en el plancton y en el bentos

Ecological role of benthic crustaceans in Chilean north Patagonian lakes and rivers (Araucania region, 39°S)

Francisco Encina; Rolando Vega; Gladys Lara; Patricio De los Ríos-Escalante

The Chilean north Patagonian inland waters are characterized by their low mineral concentrations. In their original status, many of these ecosystems have native vegetation in their surrounding drainage basins, but in the last decades the native vegetation was replaced by agricultural, urban, and industrial zones, with as a result of these human alterations that those aquatic communities changed. The aim of the present study was to make a literature review about the ecological role of crustaceans in Chilean north Patagonian lakes and rivers. The literature mentioned the presence of amphipods ( Hyalella ), crayfishes ( Samastacus spinifrons ), and freshwater crabs (genus Aegla ), and many of these species hold a conservation risk due to the consequences of habitat damage and/or their high endemism. These crustaceans are important for the degradation of particulate organic matter originating from the surrounding vegetation, and are prey for native and introduced salmonid fishes. Similar patterns had already been observed for Argentinean Patagonian rivers.

MANTENCION DEL PATRON DE DISTRIBUCION ESPACIAL, DENSIDAD Y ESTRUCTURA DE TAMAÑOS DE LA ALMEJA DE AGUA DULCE Diplodon chilensis GRAY, 1828 (BIVALVIA: HYRIIDAE) EN EL LAGO PANGUIPULLI, CHILE

Gladys Lara; Esperanza Parada

El proposito del presente estudio fue comprobar si han ocurrido cambios, despues de 16 anos, en los patrones de abundancia, distribucion espacial y estructura de talla de la almeja de agua dulce Diplodon chilensis en sustratos arenosos y areno-pedregosos del sector Chauquen del Lago Panguipulli. Los resultados indican que las almejas en 1987 y 2003 presentan una distribucion espacial agregada en ambos sustratos y con una mayor fuerza de la agregacion en los sustratos areno-pedregosos que arenosos. La densidad fue significativamente mayor en sustrato areno-pedregoso, tanto en 1987 (P 0,05) en densidad entre los distintos anos dentro de un mismo tipo de sustrato. La estructura de talla en ambos sustratos y periodos estudiados no vario mayormente, registrandose sin embargo en 2003 juveniles en ambos sustratos, lo que indicaria que ha ocurrido reclutamiento. Se discuten estos resultados en relacion al rol que desempenan estos bivalvos en el ecosistema y en su potencial uso en la evaluacion ecologica de ambientes lacustres.
