“…Often considered as ''living laboratories'' for the study of evolutionary processes, these islands have tended to be the focus of intensive collecting trips of short duration carried out by foreign scientists. Other scientific contributions came in the late 19th Century from convalescing naturalists such as Thomas Vernon Wollaston (1854Wollaston ( , 1857Wollaston ( , 1858Wollaston ( , 1878, since the Canary Islands and Madeira were well known sanatoria for tuberculosis sufferers. In the case of insular freshwater systems, scientific focus has tended to concentrate on areas traditionally associated with island-based studies such as biogeography (Stauder, 1991;Hughes et al, 1998), taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny, gene flow and rates of speciation of endemic species while in recent years emphasis has shifted from ecological to molecular studies Kelly et al, 2002;Ribera et al, 2003;Drotz, 2003).…”

Atlantic Island freshwater ecosystems: challenges and considerations following the EU Water Framework Directive

The Water Framework Directive or WFD constitutes a major step forward in the protection of the aquatic environment and associated habitats, since it legislates for the characterization of surface water bodies across defined ecoregions and the development of ecological monitoring systems based upon elements of the aquatic biota. The Macaronesian archipelagos include the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands. The peripheral situation of the Macaronesian islands has set them apart from many European initiatives concerning the implementation of the WFD, which is biased towards better known continental systems. As a result, they have been included in the same ecoregion as the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands for management purposes. However, because of their oceanic situation and volcanic origin, the freshwater systems of the Macaronesian islands differ strongly from continental systems in watershed morphology and the composition of the biotic assemblages, which merits separate identification rather than inclusion within the larger Iberic-Macaronesian ecoregion and special attention concerning regional implementation of programmes of measures under the Directive.

Abstract. We review and illustrate the four species of Choreutidae recorded from Madeira -Anthophila threnodes (Walsingham), A. fabriciana (Linnaeus), Choreutis nemorana (Hübner), and Tebenna micalis (Mann) -and describe and illustrate for the first time the male of A. threnodes, as well as the biology of this Madeiran endemic. We provide brief notes on each of the species and give short diagnoses for correctly identifying them. Finally, we discuss previous misidentifications of Madeiran choreutids and the occurrence of choreutids on other oceanic islands.
