Notes
| Samples were taken in Saltana River (0°19’1.80’’ S, 78°13’8.8’’ W), a first-order pristine stream in the northeastern Andes of Ecuador. We sampled the river benthos monthly from April 2009 to June 2010, with two additional samples in September and November 2010. In each survey, we took 12 random quantitative benthic samples (Hess sampler, 0.02 m2, 250 microns mesh) and preserved them in 90% ethanol. |
