“…To disperse among them, freshwater invertebrates use a variety of strategies broadly categorized as active (i.e., ability to fly) or passive (i.e., aquatic obligate) (Bilton et al, 2001). The dispersal of passive dispersers (hereafter referred to as 'non-flying') is driven by abiotic forces such as water flow or wind (Brendonck & Riddoch, 1999;Vanschoenwinkel, Gielen, Vandewaerde, et al, 2008;Waters, 1972), and also by biotic vectors like insects, amphibians, fishes, birds and mammals (Batzer & Boix, 2016;Beladjal et al, 2007;Vanschoenwinkel, Waterkeyn, et al, 2008). The dispersal of active dispersers (hereafter referred to as 'flying') mostly depends on wing morphology and behavioural traits (Sarremejane et al, 2020) but it can also be favoured by wind (Drake & Gatehouse, 1995).…”

Aim To assess the relative importance of wind intensity and direction in explaining wetland invertebrate metacommunity organization. Location Seventy‐eight wetland ponds in Patagonia (Argentina) covering a study area of 3.5 × 105 km2. Time period Ponds were sampled once between 2006 and 2014. Major taxa studied One hundred and fifty‐eight taxa of wetland aquatic invertebrates. Methods We generated two beta diversity matrices (based on flying and non‐flying invertebrates) and six predictor matrices, including three environmental distance matrices, a topographic distance between ponds, and two wind pairwise matrices differing in wind speed. Using Moran spectral randomization of Mantel (MSR‐Mantel) tests (which account for spatial autocorrelation), we assessed the relationship between the response and the predictor matrices. We used a network‐constrained version of the nestedness metric based on overlap and decreasing fill (NODF), to assess if wind anisotropy (i.e., direction‐dependent) affected community nestedness among ponds. Results Flying dispersers’ dissimilarity was significantly explained by environmental variables, whereas non‐flying invertebrates’ dissimilarity was not significantly explained by any of the distances tested. When wind direction was ignored, wind speed had a negligible effect on both types of communities, whereas when it was considered a consistent nested pattern emerged, with the eastern ponds (downwind) communities being subsets of those from the western ponds (upwind). Main conclusions We found that the invertebrate communities were mainly assembled by a combination of environmental factors and wind directionality, although this depended on the dispersal ability of the organisms.

“…Livelihoods in developing countries are highly dependent on intact and functioning wetlands. Permanency and water quality have been identified as factors that affect the structure and composition of biological communities [1]; as well as the services provided by these ecosystems (groundwater recharge, flood water retention, static baseflow contributions, biogeochemical processing, improved water quality and wildlife habitat) [2]. However, these factors responsible for maintaining the integrity of aquatic ecosystems are strongly influenced by pop-ulation growth, urbanization, land-use change, hydrological-climatic changes and traditional practices [3] [4].…”

The health status of wetlands depends to a large extent on the permanence and quality of water. However, natural and anthropogenic pressures on these ecosystems are transforming them and driving them to generate timely and reliable information. The aim of this study is to provide a review of water quality indices used to assess the health status of high mountain wetlands. To this end, an exhaustive search was initially carried out for studies with significant contributions to the knowledge of high mountain wetlands in Peru. In total, 90 articles on wetlands published in the last decade (2007-2017) were reviewed through bibliographic managers, of which 25% corresponded to wetland studies in Peru and of these only 6% to water quality in high Andean wetlands.

“…The only record of that MRI at the RCS that has been reported hitherto in the veterinary literature was that carried out on a live, anaesthetised African land snail ( Lissachatina [Achatina] fulica ). One of a number of images of the snail, plus a legend, appeared in a chapter of the BSAVA's Manual of Small Animal Dermatology 1 . Interestingly, nearly 30 years later, Guallart et al 2 described the use of MRI to assess the sexual maturity of another species of mollusc, the endangered limpet Patella ferruginea.…”
