Permanent ponds are valuable freshwater systems and biodiversity hotspots. They provide
diverse ecosystem services (ESs), including water quality improvement and supply, food …

Different catchment land uses affect stream communities through direct and indirect effects
by changes in water flow, sediment input, channel physical structure, and productivity …

Climate change is rapidly driving global biodiversity declines. How wetland
macroinvertebrate assemblages are responding is unclear, a concern given their vital …

Abstract Mediterranean Temporary ponds (MTPs) are suffering severe alterations in their
hydrological and salinity regime through global change, and restoration or conservation of …

The aquatic microfauna of Africa is poorly characterized, especially in the case of planktonic
rotifers inhabiting waterbodies other than large lakes. In addition, little is known about factors …

A central goal of biogeography and community ecology is to understand the processes
underlying biodiversity patterns of various organisms at different scales. Over the past few …

Ecological communities are structured by several mechanisms, including temporal, spatial
and environmental factors. However, the simultaneous effects of these factors have rarely …

Temporary lentic waters, those which alternate wet and dry periods, are globally distributed
and highly prevalent on Earth and can be classified according to their hydroperiod. We used …

Temporary ponds are small‐sized limnic systems that dry periodically. The length of the wet
phase defines the hydroregime and determines community assembly in temporary ponds …

This study considered using insect families as bioindicators to establish the health status of
an ecosystem of lentic bodies. The water quality in urban lentic bodies in the Metropolitan …
