Biodiversity loss and declining ecosystem functioning is spreading at alarming rates worldwide. In this context, pondscapes, including temporary ponds, have emerged as potential Nature-based Solutions that offer valuable ecosystem services and connect freshwater habitats as stepping-stone ecosystems. However, agricultural intensification and hydrol...
These are the results of the eLTER PLUS Transnational Access (TA) titled "Hydromophological, phisico-chemical and biological patterns of agricultural aquatic ecosystems (AGROAQ)" carried on Portugal. Here we share our results obtained on the studied ponds and troughs.
Miniguía en formato acordeón de la macrofauna de las lagunas temporales, realizada con fines divulgativos, en el marco de los proyectos ClimaRiskinPond y ResPond.
Temporary ponds are priority habitats for conservation under the Habitats Directive, harbouring singular fauna and flora. Some of these emblematic species are large branchiopods, being some rare and relict species considered as ‘‘sentinels’’ in temporary ponds, i.e., reflecting good conservation status. In recent decades, the biodiversity of tempor...
Permanent ponds represent important habitats for aquatic biodiversity and provide vital
ecosystem services as key elements for blue landscape connectivity. Although mostly
neglected in management programmes, protection schemes and biodiversity studies in
general, ponds constitute habitats with high α- and spatial β-diversity, providing unique
habit...
Ponds, whilst being mostly neglected in management and protection plans, can constitute habitats with high α- and β-diversity, including many rare and endemic species. In heterogeneous landscapes, ponds can also contribute to habitat connectivity and enhance γ-diversity whilst delivering many ecosystem services. Semi-aquatic insects are one of the...
Whilst being small and shallow, permanent ponds provide valuable habitats for a multitude
of organisms as well as provide habitats for animals like aquatic insects and others,
including many rare species. These ponds, which were often neglected in limnological
studies, were the core of our joint project, the 3rd freshwater project - EUROPONDS in or...
Within the EUROPONDS project we looked into the contribution of aquatic invertebrates to terrestrial ecosystems, which are globally declining, in various countries all over Europe. Our study encompassed a restored quarry in Alpedrete, Madrid, Spain, a landscape destined for livestock activities. We hypothesized that the emergence during autumn and...
This poster was a contribution by Juan Rubio-Ríos and Encarnación Fenoy from EUROPONDS project to the online Symposium about "Researches in Experimental Sciences" ("IX Simposio de Investigación en Ciencias Experimentales") from University of Almería in Spain.
