This study investigated the spatial and temporal variations of macrobenthos community structure in Yuqu River Basin during dry wet seasons due to environmental factors. quantified independent interactive contributions hydrophysical, hydrochemical, climatic factors through a variance decomposition analysis (VPA). The findings indicate that May (the season), such as water depth, flow velocity, dissolved oxygen, air temperature exhibit relatively minor fluctuations, rendering aquatic environment more stable than rainy season. stability is particularly conducive maintenance macrobenthic species diversity, which especially evident insects with nesting habits, those belonging Trichoptera order (including genera like Glossosoma, Glossosomatidae, Georodes).
