Farm ponds make a contribution to the biodiversity of aquatic insects in a French agricultural landscape.

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of 37 farm ponds for the biodiversity of Odonata in an agricultural landscape lacking natural wetlands in southwestern France was assessed and it was found that farm ponds captured 40% of the regional species pool, including both common and rare species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial patterns of macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in streams in relation to physical variables and land-cover in Southwestern France

TL;DR: In this paper, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were used to quantify the distribution of macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups (FFGs) in relation to physical variables and to land-cover in the Adour-Garonne stream system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pond research and management in Europe: “Small is Beautiful”

TL;DR: The phrase "Small is Beautiful" was first used by the talented scholar Leopold Kohr, but it could be argued that this desire for "bigness" explains why current legal frameworks and the conservation planning and management related to standing waters often overlook ponds, despite their well-known value in terms of biodiversity and socio-economic benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting the species richness of aquatic insects in streams using a limited number of environmental variables

TL;DR: A multilayer perceptron neural network, trained using the backpropagation algorithm, was used to predict EPTC richness (output) using the 4 above-mentioned environmental variables (input) and showed high predictability; a sensitivity analysis revealed that elevation and stream order contributed the most among the 4 input variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity of aquatic insect species richness to disturbance in the Adour–Garonne stream system (France)

TL;DR: Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Coleoptera were sampled at 153 sites distributed among 47 rivers from the Adour–Garonne stream system, and the EPTC richness was more sensitive to slight disturbances in mountain rivers (streams), where invertebrate diversity and number of species per insect families were the highest.
