Análisis <strong>de</strong>l proceso <strong>de</strong> recolonización<br />
<strong>de</strong>l tramo afectado <strong>de</strong>l Guadiamar<br />
PERMANOVA revealed no significant differences between years in E1 (F (1,8) = 1.187; p<br />
= 0.345). However, these differences were significant for E2 (F (1,8) = 4.4854; p = 0.008),<br />
E4 (F (1,8) = 3.2358; p = 0.015) and marginally significant (p < 0.1) for E3 (F (1,8) =2.0664;<br />
p = 0.091) and E5 (F (1,8) = 3.2667; p = 0.056). In the PERMANOVA with site, sample<br />
and site-year interaction, site accounted for 31% (p = 0.001) of the variance explained<br />
by the mo<strong>de</strong>l; year accounted for 10% (p = 0.001); and site-year interaction accounted<br />
for 10% (p = 0.032). Thus, the mo<strong>de</strong>l explained 52 % of the variance.<br />
The four species with highest weight in the assemblage dynamics <strong>de</strong>serve<br />
special attention. L. sclateri maintained a high abundance in all sites since 2001,<br />
resulting slightly higher in E5 at the end of the study period (Fig. 8a). P. willkommii was<br />
mainly restricted to the upstream non-affected reach of the Guadiamar River, even<br />
though it was common for some individuals to reach the adjacent affected E2. Since<br />
2005, seven years after the spill, P. willkommii abundance has increased in the reference<br />
site (E1), but <strong>de</strong>creased in the affected reach (Fig. 8b). Among the exotic species within<br />
the affected sites, L. gibbosus greatly increased in 2000, but abundance <strong>de</strong>creased from<br />
the following year, and values were stable hereinafter (Fig. 8c). A. alburnus was absent<br />
until the <strong>las</strong>t sampling year. However, in that year this species was the second most<br />
abundant in the affected reach. This <strong>las</strong>t abrupt expansion of a particular species<br />
confirms a <strong>de</strong>ep change in fish assemblage structure.<br />
