The present work, included in the European Project BIOWAT, aims to develop and validate the use of genomic tools or metabarcoding for its utilization as a routine method for river biomonitoring in different European Biogeographical regions. The project included sampling points in three biogeographic regions, Mediterranean (Spain), Continental (Germ...

Over the last decade, remarkable improvements have been made in the field of metabarcoding-based tools for routine ecological status assessments. However, important issues are yet to be solved to fulfil the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) requirements and standards. These limitations, which include problems related to e.g. the lack of a co...

Conservation and sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems is a priority in environmental programs worldwide. However, these aims are highly dependent on the efficiency, accuracy and cost of existent methods for the detection of keystone species and monitoring of biological communities. Rapid advances in eDNA, barcoding and metabarcoding promote...

The methodology used to establish reference conditions and class boundary change of ecological status for the 32 Spanish river types is presented. The analysis was performed with data from monitoring programs of different Hydraulic Administrations: Water Boards, Water Agencies, etc., for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The data of 652 preliminary re...

RESUMEN Contribución al establecimiento de condiciones de referencia y límites entre clases de estado ecológico en los ríos españoles Se presenta la metodología utilizada en el establecimiento de las condiciones de referencia y los límites de cambio de clase de estado ecológico para los 32 tipos definidos dentro de la categoría ríos en España. El a...

In Spain, a national project known as GUADALMED, focusing on Mediterranean streams, has been carried out from 1998 to 2005 to implement the European water framework directive (WFD) requirements. One of the main objectives of the second phase of the project (2002–2005) was to develop a predictive system for the Spanish Mediterranean aquatic macroinv...

La ficha de tipología ecológica comprende las carac- terísticas ecológicas específicas de cada tipo ecológico de la DMA, correspondiéndose con lo que se deno- minan en dicha Directiva “Condiciones de Referencia” específicas de cada tipo. Prácticamente, la totalidad de los tipos de la DMA se corresponden con más de uno de los tipos de hábitat de int...

1. According to the guidelines of the European Water Framework Directive, assessment of the ecological quality of streams and rivers should be based on ecotype-specific reference conditions. Here, we assess two approaches for establishing a typology for Mediterranean streams: a top-down approach using environmental variables and bottom-up approach...

In this study a first approach is presented for the establishment of the reference conditions and the ecological classes in surface water bodies of Júcar River Basin. The results show 27% of rivers with pristine conditions and 64% without or slightly altered conditions. In these water reaches the data of biological monitoring network have been used...

The design of the Biological Network, based on the use of hydromorphological, physical, chemical, and biological indicators, allowed a diagnosis of the quality in 221 sampling points in 104 rivers of Júcar's Basin (Jucar Turia, Mijares, Vinalopo, Palancia, Serpis and small basins) to be carried out during the year 2000 and to establish its ecologic...

Este número de Reseñas Malacológicas incluye información, en muchos casos inédita, sobre 151 especies de moluscos (tanto terrestres, como dulceacuícolas y marinos) que hemos considerado que deben ser tenidas en cuenta desde el punto de vista de su conservación, pues sufren algún tipo de amenaza. Todos estos datos se recopilaron inicialmente con el...

Listado Final: Fichas con argumentaciones científicas para la catalogación de especies de moluscos.- Los datos que disponemos de cada una de las especies mencionadas se han concentrado en unas fichas relativas a las mismas y se entregarán en el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente. Se espera que a partir de esta información, el Ministerio pueda realizar l...
