River Dan, headwater of the Jordan, an aquatic oasis of the Middle East

et al. 1986

River Dan is the largest of the headwater rivers of the Jordan. The karstic exsurgence of the Dan has a seasonally stable output, a long stretch of strongly turbulent flow, stable temperature around 15.5 °C and high oxygen saturation. A total of 156 taxa, mainly at the species level, were identified from the river. These species are almost exclusively of Palearctic origin. About half of the species are limited to the northernmost part of Israel. The faunal complex described, does not present any longitudinal zonation for the 5 kilometers of turbulent flow; neither does it present seasonal changes in species composition. River Dan is considered to be a post-Pleistocenic river which has an important function of refugium for a wide area of aquatic waterbodies in the area, including the presently drained Lake Hula. It is suggested that in the Illies scheme of stream classification, River Dan might represent a type of stream belonging to a 'pseudorhithral' along with other stenothermic warm water torrents of the tropical-subtropical climatic belt.

“…The Lebanese rivers have much lower winter temperatures. In the case of the springs of the Orontes, the winter temperature is 10 °C (Moubayed & Laville, 1983). In the small spring of Nab'l Bardauni in Southern Lebanon, the average temperature is 8 C with winter minimum of 6.8 C (Alouf, 1982).…”

Un inventaire des Chironomidés de l'Oued Martil est effectué : 95 espèces ont été recensées dont 14 sont nouvellement citées pour le Maroc. Cet inventaire porte le total des espèces actuellement connues du Rif à 121 et celui du Maroc à 256. La majorité des espèces ont une large répartition paléarctique, 7 espèces ont distribution méditerranéenne ; 3 espèces sont afrotropicales et 2 espèces panpaléotropicales.

Afrotropical montane midges (Diptera, Chironomidae, Diamesa)

The tribe Diamesini is a characteristic element of the chironomid fauna of the Holarctic alpine and montane areas. It is represented in the E African mountains by three species: Diamesa kenyae Freeman, Diamesa ruwentoriensis Freeman and Diamesafreemani sp. nov. The adults of the three species, the pupa and larva of D.freemani, and the larva of D . kenyae, are all described in detail. Several morphological features indicate that the Afrotropical Diamesa are derived from a relatively plesiomorphic lineage of the genus. Other characters indicate possible sister-species occurring in the Alps, the Caucasus mountains and the Himalaya. Three lines of evidence suggest a northern origin of the Afrotropical Diamesa: the relatively young age of the E African mountain peaks, the proposed phylogeny of the genus, and the present distribution of the tribe Diamesini.
