There are thousands of ponds across Europe, from Lapland to Mediterranean islands
and from remote areas to densely populated cities. Most of them provide habitats for animals
like aquatic insects and others, even rare species. Ponds also contribute to habitat connectivity
and enable organisms to cross the landscape in their function as “blue stepping stones”. Insects
emerging from such ponds can be rich in both biodiversity and dietary energy. They provide
food and essential fatty acids for terrestrial and avian consumers (bats, birds, spiders, lizards)
and thus, important ecosystem services. However, the knowledge about the ecological role of
emerging insects from ponds, and their contribution to biodiversity and dietary energy transfer
to consumers of adjacent ecosystems is limited. With this project, we aim to fill this gap of
knowledge answering some unresolved questions: how does the trophic status of ponds affect
the biodiversity and energy content of emerging insects? How different are ponds from various
regions, e.g., cities vs. remote areas, in supporting insect biodiversity? Such questions are to be
answered through a highly collaborative network of around 80 young freshwater scientists
within EUROPONDS.
