Inverse monoids and immersions of 2-complexes
It is well known that under mild conditions on a connected topological space
, connected covers of may be classified via conjugacy
classes of subgroups of the fundamental group of . In this paper,
we extend these results to the study of immersions into 2-dimensional
CW-complexes. An immersion between
CW-complexes is a cellular map such that each point has a
neighborhood that is mapped homeomorphically onto by . In order
to classify immersions into a 2-dimensional CW-complex , we need to
replace the fundamental group of by an appropriate inverse monoid.
We show how conjugacy classes of the closed inverse submonoids of this inverse
monoid may be used to classify connected immersions into the complex
The Ecological Importance of Unregulated Tributaries to Macroinvertebrate Diversity and Community Composition in a Regulated River
In regulated rivers, dams alter longitudinal gradients in flow regimes, geomorphology, water quality and temperature with associated impacts on aquatic biota. Unregulated tributaries can increase biodiversity in regulated environments by contributing colonists to the main channel and creating transitional habitats at a stream junction. We assessed whether unregulated tributaries influence macroinvertebrate communities in two mainstem rivers during summer low-flows. Three tributary junctions of upland cobble-gravel bed streams were surveyed in an unregulated and a regulated river in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA. We found distinct physical habitat conditions and increased macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity in unregulated tributaries on the regulated river, but macroinvertebrate diversity did not increase downstream of tributary junctions as predicted. On the unregulated river, macroinvertebrate diversity was similar in upstream, downstream and unregulated tributary sites. Our findings highlight that unregulated tributaries support high macroinvertebrate diversity and heterogeneous communities compared to the mainstem sites in a regulated river, and thus likely support ecological processes, such as spillover predation, breeding and refugia use for mobile taxa. We suggest unregulated tributaries are an integral component of river networks, serving as valuable links in the landscape for enhancing biodiversity, and should be protected in conservation and management plans
