Evaluating drivers of vulnerability to climate change: a guide for insect conservation strategies
TLDR
What drives vulnerability to climate change in three Iberian endemic water beetles is evaluated, representing three independent colonizations of the same habitat, employing comparative thermal physiology, species distribution models and estimations of species dispersal capacity.

Nutrient And Particulate Inputs Into The Mar Menor Lagoon (Se Spain) From An Intensive Agricultural Watershed
The Mar Menor is a Mediterranean coastal lagoon of high conservation interest, but highly threatened by non-point pollution derived from agricultural lands. This is the first comprehensive study that…

Dispersal ability rather than ecological tolerance drives differences in range size between lentic and lotic water beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae)
TLDR
It is hypothesized that there have been two habitat shifts from lotic to lentic waters, which have allowed marked expansions in geographical range size in western Mediterranean species of the E. bicolor complex, an aquatic beetle clade with species across the lentic–lotic divide.

Can taxonomic distinctness assess anthropogenic impacts in inland waters? A case study from a Mediterranean river basin
SUMMARY 1. It is increasingly recognised that adequate measures of biodiversity should include information on the ‘relatedness’ of species within ecological assemblages, or the phylogenetic levels at…

Bias in freshwater biodiversity sampling: the case of Iberian water beetles
TLDR
The results suggest that recording of water beetles from the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands was skewed by relatively simple variables affecting collector activity, such as the perceived ‘attractiveness’ of mountainous landscapes and protected areas with recently described species, and accessibility of sampling sites.

Contrasting effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on beta diversity in river organisms
TLDR
The hypothesis that natural and anthropogenic stressors generate contrasting patterns in beta diversity that arise through different mechanisms that support the hypothesis that mechanisms underlying beta diversity in rivers would differ between gradients.

Inter- and intra-annual variations of macroinvertebrate assemblages are related to the hydroperiod in Mediterranean temporary ponds
TLDR
A general pattern was detected, with similar variation between both years, which may be associated with the life histories of the macroinvertebrate taxa recorded.

Macrophytic, epipelic and epilithic primary production in a semiarid Mediterranean stream
TLDR
Primary production by Chara vulgaris and by epipelic and epilithic algal assemblages was measured in a semiarid, Mediterranean stream during one annual cycle, confirming the net autotrophy of the system.
