Impacts caused to freshwater reservoirs by human activities have increased in tropical and subtropical regions in the last decades. We studied the effects of land use on the physicochemical properties of water and their effects on larval Odonata diversity in a subtropical lagoon. During 1 year, physicochemical variables were measured, and Odonata larvae were collected in 8 sites (4 in the urbane zone and 4 in the more conserved rural zone) with different
land uses that cover the entire periphery of the lagoon. Physicochemically, no clustering of samples from urban and
rural zones or by site was observed, rather clustering reflected temporal patterns. A total of 28 species were found and some of them showed a differential distribution between both zones, and between the 8 sites and collectings. The highest diversity was recorded in the rural zone. The site with domestic waste discharges had the lowest diversity and it showed high concentrations of nitrates and ammonium. We conclude that the effect of land use in this lagoon is still incipient on Odonata diversity. The diversion and treatment of urban waters and proper land management are recommended to ensure the maintenance of Odonata diversity.
