However, our understanding of their ecology and long-term Simon Van Bellen, hydrological dynamics remains limited. Transfer functions, constructed on the basis Université de Montréal, Canada of biological indicators (proxies) with known ecological preferences, allow us to infer *Correspondence: past environmental conditions and serve as a basis for prediction of future changes in Valentyna Krashevska
