In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Dispersal is an essential process in population and community dynamics, but is difficult to
measure in the field. In freshwater ecosystems, information on biological traits related to …

Soil arthropod communities are highly diverse and critical for ecosystem functioning.
However, our knowledge of spatial structure and the underlying processes of community …

Freshwater ecosystems harbour a disproportionately high biodiversity relative to their area,
being also one of the most threatened ecosystem types worldwide. However, our capacity to …

 Abstract Among mayflies, Baetidae are often considered as easy to recognise at the family
level, but difficult to identify at lower level. In several faunistic or ecological studies, the …

Aim Community assembly processes are difficult to observe in nature but can be inferred
from species diversity patterns. However, taxonomic patterns may be consistent with multiple …

Recent research in various Moroccan areas allowed an update and a revision of the
Moroccan Ephemeroptera checklist. In this case, 54 species are now listed, belonging to 10 …

Anthropogenic impacts and climate change modify instream flow, altering ecosystem
services and impacting on aquatic ecosystems. Alpine rivers and streams on the Qinghai …

Biodiversity accumulates hierarchically by means of ecological and evolutionary processes
and feedbacks. Within ecological communities drift, dispersal, speciation, and selection …

The Neotropical region represents one of the greatest biodiversity hot spots on earth.
Despite its unparalleled biodiversity, regional comparative phylogeographic studies are still …
