Abstract:

The present paper represents a study concerning the ecology of macroinvertebrate communities from the SomeÂșul Rece river course, with special emphasis on the following groups: oligochaetes, mayflies, stoneflies and water mites.

Previous studies concerning the SomeÂșul Rece flora and fauna at two sampling sites located downstream and upstream of BlĂŁjoaia were carried out by a team coordinated by Sarkany-Kiss & Hamar (1999). This study included all the major groups analyzed in the present paper, except for water mites.

So far, general studies concerning the groundwater environment in the SomeÂșul Rece catchment area were made by CĂźmpean et al., 2003.The list of water mite species from the groundwater habitats was published by Konnarth-Ionescu, 1979, including data from MotaÂș and Szalay. Mayflies communities from Apuseni Mountains were studied by GĂŁldean, 1994.
