A fundamental question in community ecology is to identify and measure the assembling factors of communities. Theoretical and technological advances renewed the interest of ecologists for this questions culminating in new research areas: I) the metacommunity approach, which unify local process with spatial factors in regional scale; II) phylogenetic ecology, which uses evolutive history o…
The aquatic macroinvertebrates are recognized as a reliable tool for biomonitoring of water quality and are used in environmental monitoring programs in several countries. In Brazil, some government agencies also use this instrument to monitoring the quality of continental waters. The environmental assessment using aquatic macroinvertebrates is done by comparing metric values among the co…

Environmental filtering, predation and competition are thought to be major influential processes that drive community assembly. Besides this importance, only competition and environmental filtering are considered in community assembly frameworks. Predation can increase, decrease, or have no effect on the competition strength of prey communities, and therefore, actual inferences about the …
