Our understanding of aquatic ecology and ecosystem functioning continuously improves. The special issues of Hydrobiologia on "Emerging Trends in Aquatic Ecology" each represent a collection of papers to testify to the variety of approaches and topics that concur in reaching the common aim to scientifically underpin political and societal decisions to mitigate our impacts on our planet and its biodiversity.The series started exactly 100 volumes ago, with volume 750 in 2015 (Martens, 2015). We here proudly present the fourth edition of the series, with papers from colleagues within and outside of the editorial board of the journal.The current trend of continuous biodiversity loss resulted in several international and national regulations and funding schemes to target biodiversity protection and halt its loss. Such a trend is clearly reflected in the papers published in this special issue, which now, more than in the previous editions of the ETAE (Naselli-Flores et al., 2017;Thomaz et al., 2020), present studies that improve our basic understanding of the patterns and processes in biodiversity, that introduce and review state-of-the-art tools and approaches to study biodiversity, that use biodiversity to monitor and assess ecological quality of waters, and that study the effects of anthropogenic activities and climate change on aquatic biodiversity.Three papers deal with the distribution of species. They addressed the influence of abiotic processes like floodings on species occurrence and interactions in plants in the Amazons (da Silva et al., 2023), the role of dried aquatic macrophytes in dispersal of Neotropical ostracods (Rosa et al., 2023), and potential biases affecting our understanding of biodiversity and biogeography of microscopic aquatic organisms (Marrone et al., 2023 provide advice on the use of different literature databases when searching for literature surveys on topics in aquatic ecology, given

Information on the known species diversity of the non-marine ostracods in Venezuela is compiled from the available literature. The review resulted in 34 species and two varieties, belonging to the superfamilies Cypridoidea and Cytheroidea. Of these, the presence of one species should be confirmed for the country. Furthermore, eight taxonomic entities classified with open nomenclature are mentioned. As additional contributions to the annotated list, georeferences of the records are included, as well as amendments in names and information for some localities. Finally, information about the distribution of some species, which were erroneously assigned to other biogeographic areas, is clarified, which is essential to optimizing the accuracy of subsequent analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
