Abstract

A diversidade de espécies é definida como sendo a variedade de espécies e suas abundâncias relativas, podendo ser decomposta em diversidade local (alfa), regional (gama) e entre as comunidades (beta). Por décadas, os estudos com peixes de riachos brasileiros focaram na relação entre as variáveis ambientais locais e os padrões de diversidade. Entretanto, a dispersão vem ganhando notoriedade por ser percebida como importante na organização das comunidades. Além disso, as variáveis em grande escala vêm se destacando como preditoras da diversidade, complementando o papel do hábitat. Apresentamos aqui uma breve revisão dos métodos para a obtenção da diversidade taxonômica alfa e beta, considerações sobre a escolha de seus preditores, bem como de suas principais formas de análise.

QUANTITATIVE METHODS TO MEASURE THE TAXONOMIC DIVERSITY IN STREAM FISH: Species diversity is defined as the variety of species and their relative abundances, and can be decomposed in local (alpha), regional (gamma) and between-communities (beta) diversity. For decades, studies with Brazilian stream fish focused on the relationship between local environmental variables and diversity patterns. However, dispersal gained notoriety for being important to the organization of communities. Besides, large scale variables are increasingly being perceived as good predictors of diversity, complementing the role of habitat variables. We present here a brief review of the methods to obtain alpha and beta taxonomic diversity, considerations regarding their predictors, and their main analysis.
