Abstract: The cranefly (Tipuloidea) fauna of the Western Balkans is still poorly known. In this study, occurrence data of 77 species is reported, of which two species are newly recorded for Albania, eight species for Bosnia and Herzegovina, twelve for Croatia, and seven for Slovenia, respectively. A new species, Baeoura neretvaensis Kolcsár & d’Oliveira, sp. nov. is described from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Slovenia. Images of the habitus, wing, and male and female terminalia of the new species are prov… Show more

Within the upper Neretva catchment in Bosnia several hydropower plants are projected. Between 28.6. and 1.7.2022 a baseline survey was initiated to screen the area regarding the diversity of aquatic insects and its linked conservation value. In total, 59 Trichoptera species, ten Plecoptera species, 19 Ephemeroptera and 16 Diptera (Tipuloidea) species were collected, of which Baeoura sp. is new to science. 35 species are endemics of the Balkans, most species are rheobiontic and need high water current. The most abundant taxa are species of the trichopteran genus Agapetus (A. slavorum and A. ochripes) – surface grazers sensitive to water fluctuations and therefore vulnerable to hydropower-induced water level changes. With estimated 40,000 attracted specimens per night, light traps were extraordinarily successful. The extremely high diversity, as well as the enormous abundance of aquatic insects, underline the importance of the upper Neretva as an unimpacted riverine system embedded in dense natural and near-natural forest.

Many rivers in the Balkans are at risk due to numerous planned hydropower plants. The Save the Blue Heart of Europe campaign and the Scientists for Balkan Rivers network are important initiatives trying to promote the protection of the region’s intact rivers. In summer 2022, a Science Week was organised in the upper Neretva River valley. From 26.6. to 5.7.2022, a diverse team of in total nearly 60 scientists and students from seven countries were involved in fieldwork on about a dozen common field sites distributed along the upper Neretva River. The 13 contributions published in this special issue draw an impressive picture of high biodiversity in this understudied area. Altogether, more than 1000 species of animals and plants were documented, numerous of them protected, underscoring the extremely high conservation value of the various ecosystems in the upper Neretva river valley.
