TL;DR: The extant global Ephemeroptera fauna is represented by over 3,000 described species in 42 families and more than 400 genera, with the highest generic diversity occurs in the Neotropics, with a correspondingly high species diversity, while the Palaearctic has the lowest generic diversity, but a high species Diversity.

TL;DR: The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, given further development and testing, the river signature concept holds promise for elevating the river focus in general conservation planning exercises.

TL;DR: This article provided a collation and synthesis of published research on the aquatic invertebrate fauna inhabiting temporary lentic wetlands of the region, exposing the poor taxonomic knowledge of most groups, which makes it difficult to comment on patterns of richness and endemism.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that B. harrisoni as it is currently recognised is not a single species with a wide geographic range and pH-tolerance, but may comprise up to five species under the phylogenetic species concept, each with limited pH-Tolerances, and that the B.harrisoni species group is thus in need of taxonomic review.
