Abstract

This paper analyzes successional changes in trophic structure of aquatic insect communities of a set of ponds subjected to different environmental conditions during the first year of existence. The colonization aiid successional sequences of nine of ten ponds exhibited a common reasonably predictable pattern, that was determined by quality of available food in these systems. Detritus constituted the main source of food in the ponds, with more of 50% of species being detritivorous.
