Foram amostrados 17 riachos, em 12 fragmentos durante a estação seca (junho a agosto de 2007 e de 2008). Foram identificadas 16 espécies de macroalgas, pertencentes a 14 gêneros. Cyanophyta e Chlorophyta foram os grupos mais representativos (44 e 38%, respectivamente), seguidos por Rhodophyta (12%) e Heterokontophyta (6%). O número global de espécies foi baixo, fato atribuído à predominância de substrato areno-argiloso (65%) e de trechos sombreados (53%). A maioria das espécies (69%) ocorreu exclusivamente em um único riacho, padrão frequentemente observado para macroalgas lóticas. Vaucheria pseudogeminata foi reportada pela primeira vez para o Brasil e Trichocoleus sociatus para a região noroeste do Estado de São Paulo. Comparando a flora de macroalgas encontrada com aquelas de outras regiões/biomas do Estado de São Paulo, notou-se maior semelhança com Floresta Tropical (56% espécies em comum), conforme esperado, por ser o bioma mais próximo e composto também por Floresta Estacional Semidecidual.

The Preto River, located in the northwest of São Paulo State, receives a total wastewater load of 15.150 kg DBO day-1, from which 13.685 kg DBO day-1 (90.5%) corresponds to domestic sewage, and the city of São José do Rio Preto contributes with 12.400 kg DBO day-1 (90% of domestic sewage). During the period from August 1990 through January 1991, monthly sampling was carried out to evaluate the use of macroalgae as bioindicator of organic pollution. Five sampling sites were established along the main river and the following variables were analised: temperature, conductance, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, BOD, COD, total and fecal coliforms, and composition and abundance of macroalgal communities. Data were submitted to analysis of variance, correlation coefficient, cluster analysis (four different approaches) and converted to biological indices (species deficit, relative pollution, saprobity, diversity and uniformity indices). A wide range in water quality was found (particularly for conductance, oxygen, BOD and COD) among the sampling sites, which were classified into three groups (polluted, moderately polluted and unpolluted/weakly polluted). As regards the occurrence and abundance of macroalgae the Rhodophyta were found only in unpolluted or weakly polluted sites, whereas Cyanophyta occurred mostly under high pollution load; the Chlorophyta species were observed under a wide range of conditions. Among the biological indices, saprobity was the most sensitive and correlated to all water variables and the other indices. Cluster analyses showed that the composition of macroalgal communities was consistent with the levels of organic pollution in the Preto River.

The drainage basin of Cascavel River is almost entirely within the urban perimeter of Guarapuava, Paraná State, Brazil. Seven stream segments were sampled in two seasons (summer and winter). We found 12 taxa of macroalgae with a dominance of Chlorophyta (seven taxa) followed by Cyanophyta (three taxa), Heterokontophyta and Rhodophyta (one taxon each). Richness, diversity, and evenness were higher during the winter while the abundance and dominance were higher in the summer. Among the microenvironmental characteristics, the current velocity was the only one that differed significantly between the periods. The regression analysis revealed that the richness of the substrate was responsible for the variation in richness, diversity, evenness, and dominance during the summer period. During the winter the current velocity was responsible for the variation of species diversity. A cluster analysis of macroalgal communities did not group points in the same temporal period. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) showed that the segments were close to each other because of the occurrence of one or a few species in common. The patterns of spatial and temporal distribution of stream macroalgae seem to be strongly influenced by microhabitat characteristics at different scales.However, they aresupported by regional variables.
