“…The crustacean fauna of aquatic ecosystems in the islands of the western Mediterranean Basin has been sufficiently documented, and several investigations were carried out in the last decades addressed toward the faunistic exploration of Sicily (Marrone & Mura, 2006;Marrone et al, 2005Marrone et al, , 2006aMarrone et al, , 2006bPieri et al, 2006), Maltese islands (Lanfranco, 2001), Sardinia (Ruffo & Stoch, 2005;Boix et al, 2017, and references therein), Corsica (Champeau & Thiéry, 1990;Culioli et al, 2006) and Balearic Islands (Jaume, 1989(Jaume, -1990Pretus, 1990;Zamora et al, 2005).

This is a book in memoriam to Professor Maria Rosa Miracle. Collecting 42 invited manuscripts in tribute to Prof. Maria Rosa Miracle. She passed away on 28 th May 2017 in Valencia (Spain), at the age of 72, when she was still active as Emeritus Professor at the University of Valencia. During her nearly five decades of dedication to research and teaching, she became globally a highly influential limnologist. Her lines of research in limnology paved the way for many new interdisciplinary themes, some of which can be found in this special volume.Soon after Maria Rosa passed away, the Iberian Association of Limnology (AIL) decided to dedicate, in her honour, a special issue of Limnetica, the indexed journal of the Association to which she was always associated as Author, Reviewer or Editor. Most of the present collection of papers was published in Limnetica in homage to Maria Rosa. Manuscripts have been contributed by various invited authors, many of whom seek answers to some of the puzzling limnological questions raised by Maria Rosa, and on the themes she liked to work on. Many of the articles have been elaborated by her former students, colleagues and collaborators, trying to address some of the unfinished products of her last few months of research activity. While collaborating with different colleagues, she left a wealth of research data which will perhaps be published in near future following her ideas and the guidelines that she has left behind.

“…The five protected plant species ( Eryngium pusillum , Isoetes histrix , Ranunculus ophioglossifolius, Kickxia cirrhosa and Ranunculus revelierei ), the two rare branchiopod crustacean species for Corsica ( Triops cancriformis and Chirocephalus salinus ) and the four protected amphibian species ( Hyla sarda , Pelophylax bergeri , Discoglossus sardus , Bufo balearicus ) dwelling at Musella pond give this site a strong environmental interest (Culioli et al, 2006; Fleuriau et al, 2010; Levadoux & Fleuriau, 2010; Lorenzoni, 1997; Lorenzoni & Paradis, 1998; Piazza et al, 2013; Sorba et al, 2018). The pond is classified under the European Natura 2000 Network as Site of Community Importance and is protected at the national level by the status of natural zone of ecological, faunistic and floristic strong interest (ZNIEFF type 1), as it is the only French station where Eryngium pusillum is observed.…”

Isotope hydrology to provide insights into the behaviour of temporary wetlands as a basis for developing sustainable ecohydrological management strategies in Mediterranean regions

The lack of hydrological considerations in the existing protection statutes for small temporary wetlands has recently been pointed out as the main cause of their rapidly increasing disappearance. In the present study, we aim to demonstrate the interest of using the tools of isotope hydrology to obtain a rapid and cost effective understanding of the hydrological connectivity of Mediterranean temporary wetlands in order to define the optimal environmental conditions needed to ensure their sustainability. By combining physical and isotope measurements, we have investigated the fragile balance of direct precipitation, subsurface water and groundwater influencing the hydroperiod of a typical Mediterranean temporary pond. The use of the water stable isotopes enabled us to demonstrate (i) the major role played by groundwater and subsurface water in the flooding phase of the temporary pond; (ii) the involvement of different water reservoirs in varying proportions over time to maintain the pond filled with water: precipitation, subsurface and groundwater by using d-excess; (iii) the main role played by evaporation in starting the drying up phase; and (iv) the connection existing between a geographically isolated wetland and the regional groundwater body. These results highlight the urgent need to consider both surface and groundwater fluxes in specific protection statutes for wetlands. To this end, we recommend the use of the water stable isotopes to provide insights into the hydrological behaviour of the wetlands in order to dispose of additional cost-effective arbitration arguments to help ensure their sustainability.

An account on the non-malacostracan crustacean fauna from the inland waters of Crete, Greece, with the synonymization of Arctodiaptomus piliger Brehm, 1955 with Arctodiaptomus alpinus (Imhof, 1885)The Mediterranean bioregion is widely recognised as a biodiversity hotspot and its inland waters are among the species richest ecosystems of the northern hemisphere. However, the extent of such biodiversity has not been totally unravelled, especially in the Mediterranean islands. Here we present a first account of the crustaceans inhabiting 21 permanent and temporary ponds in Crete, the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The ponds, sampled between 2009 and 2018, cover all the island surface even though their number cannot be considered exhaustive to represent the entire non-malacostracan fauna of the island. Nevertheless, 46 taxa were identified and most of them are new records for Crete. Moreover, molecular taxonomy allowed to solve the systematic position of Arctodiaptomus piliger Brehm, 1955 and to synonymize this organism, previously considered endemic of the island, with Arctodiaptomus alpinus (Imhof, 1885). As regard branchiopods, this paper contributes a step ahead to clarify the taxonomic position of the Mediterranean Chirocephalus and Ceriodaphnia species. Finally, a review of all the non-stygobitic species present on the island is reported, including 78 taxa (21 Branchiopoda, 28 Copepoda and 29 Ostracoda). Overall, the achieved results offer new clues to solve the complex biogeographical pattern of the "entomostracan" crustaceans inhabiting the inland waters of the Mediterranean region.
