Global diversity of stoneflies (Plecoptera; Insecta) in freshwater
TL;DR: The data indicate the Holarctic Region as the diversity hot-spot for the Plecoptera order, and the analysis of the specific diversity divided by family suggests also an important role of tropical stoneflies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The European union’s 2010 target: Putting rare species in focus
TL;DR: Whether the 2010 target indicators really cover the species most at risk of extinction is discussed, which shows that most contemporary extinctions have affected narrow-range taxa or taxa with strict ecological requirements.

Vulnerable taxa of European Plecoptera (Insecta) in the context of climate change
J. M. Tierno de Figueroa,Manuel Jesús López-Rodríguez,Armin W. Lorenz,Wolfram Graf,Astrid Schmidt-Kloiber,Daniel Hering +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated 516 species and/or subspecies of European stoneflies for vulnerability to climate change according to auto-ecological data, including stream zonation preference, altitude preference, current preference, temperature range preference, endemism and rare species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecological value of stream restoration measures: An evaluation on ecosystem and target species scales
TL;DR: The results suggest that instream restoration measures can contribute to freshwater biodiversity conservation, but reproductive success of species depending on long-term improvement of interstitial water quality cannot be achieved without considering catchment effects and natural substratum dynamics.

TL;DR: Both maximum pairwise and nearest neighbour distances were substantially higher for Ephemeroptera compared to Plecoptera and Trichoptera, possibly indicating older speciation events, stronger positive selection or faster rate of molecular evolution.

Nymphs of North American stonefly genera (Plecoptera).
TL;DR: Stonefly nymphal lacinia tridentate hemispherical dorsally flattened eggs of life have been found in North American stonefly nelson found on north texas and embioptera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic system and zoogeography of the Plecoptera.
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships and global distribution patterns suggest that evolution of the extant suborders started with the breakup of Pangaea, and there is evidence of extensive recent speciation in all parts of the world.
