Anthropogenic disturbances may negatively affect the quality of freshwater ecosystems. Among these disturbances, metal mining has increased at an alarming rate, often impacting small water bodies and thus aquatic communities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the residuals of iron ore mining may decrease the species diversity of a benthic macroinvertebrate community in a stream. For this, three streams were evaluated in a mining area, and in each one samples of the macroinvertebrates were taken and a record of the abiotic factors made. It was found that taxa diversity in impacted streams is much lower than in preserved streams. Furthermore, the fauna composition in impacted streams was restricted to groups ext...
