Results Altogether, 1458 specimens belonging to 10 families of water beetles were collected (Table 1). Seasonal dynamics of eudominant water beetle families is presented in Figure 3. Although abundance of individual families vary strong- ly, the overall number of water beetles in the pond is more or less constant through the season (Table 1). The pond was dried out during August and Sep- tember. Among 289 Hydradephagan specimens, 22 species were identified (Table 3). Seasonal fluctuation of six most abundant species is presented in Figure 4, showing that most species reach the peak of their abundance in June. Results show a significant positive correlation of Hydradephagan abundance Figure 1: Location of Lonjsko polje in Croatia Figure 2: Pond Trebez and species richness with pond dimensions (Figure 6) and negative correla- tion with conductivity and dissolved CaCO3 in water (Table 2), as previously demonstrated by some authors. We found no significant correlations between Polyphagan water beetle fauna and examined parameters. T-test showed that Hydradephagan abundance is significantly different in the Materials and Methods two microhabitat types (p = 0.0097), being significantly higher at the shore- line (Figure 5) as proposed in literature. Field survey was conducted from May to December 2004. in an open tempo- rary pond “Trebez” situated near the forest edge (Figure 2).

Characterisation of pristine Polish river systems and their use as reference conditions for Dutch river systems. Wageningen, Alterra, Alterra-rapport 1367. 221 blz.; 13 figs.; 53 tables.; 26 refs. A central feature of the European Water Framework Directive are the reference conditions. The ecological quality status is determined by calculating the distance between the present situation and the reference conditions. To describe reference conditions the natural variation of biota in pristine water bodies should be measured. Because pristine water bodies are not present in the Netherlands anymore, water bodies (springs, streams, rivers and oxbow lakes) in central Poland were investigated. Macrophytes and macroinvertebrates were sampled and environmental variables were measured. The water bodies appeared to have a high biodiversity and a good ecological quality.

MgA. David Boukal, Ph.D. České Bud ějovice 2008 1 Bachelor Thesis Kle čka, J., 2008: The structure and dynamics of a water beetle community in a semipermanent wetland (Vrbenské rybníky Nature Reserve, South Bohemia). BSc. Thesis, in English – 63 pp., Faculty of Science, The University of South Bohemia, České Bud ějovice, Czech Republic. Annotation In my thesis I examined the structure and dynamics of a water beetle community in a semipermanent wetland in an alder carr. The results are based on three years of my field work and processing of material collected by a light trap at the study site during five years. The thesis focuses on: 1. Comparison of selectivity and efficiency of several widely used sampling methods; 2. Seasonal dynamics and effects of environmental variables on flight acitivity; 3. Spatiotemporal dynamics and effects of habitat structure and fluctuations in water levels. General patterns and relationships are highlighted.

  • Water Beetles by Richard Chadd, Kevin Rowley & Henry Stanier What? Water Beetles Are Insects Belonging to the Order Coleoptera Great Diving Beetle Dytiscus Marginalis
    Monitoring & Research Ecology Groups Wildlife Profiles: Water Beetles By Richard Chadd, Kevin Rowley & Henry Stanier What? Water beetles are insects belonging to the Order Coleoptera Great Diving Beetle Dytiscus marginalis. which means ‘sheathed wings’ as the wings are covered by hard Photo by Kim Taylor wing cases (elytra). The order is huge and includes a wide variety of groups, some of which have a close association with water, living on or in it for most of their adult life. These have representatives from two main Sub-orders, Adephaga (the water beetles in this group are often referred to as Hydradephaga) and Polyphaga. The Hydradephaga are more your typical diving beetles, include 5 families, and are purely aquatic. The Polyphaga are more loosely associated with water and usually termed scavenger water beetles. They include 9 families but study is usually limited to the 6 that are more commonly aquatic or semi-aquatic as adults. All species are adapted in some way to an aquatic lifestyle, often flattened and oval in outline, with their 6 limbs modified to varying extents, to enhance their swimming or submerged crawling ability. Their wing cases meet in a straight line down the centre of the back, unlike bugs, and are modified to not only create an efficient suit of armour but also to store air like an aqualung. They can spend prolonged periods underwater but still have to return to the surface to breathe and restore their air supply, though some, the polyphagous Elmidae, can use the bubble as a rudimentary ‘lung’ and stay submerged more-or-less permanently.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Agricultural drainage ditches are ubiqui- at both the site (alpha diversity) and landscape scale tous features in lowland agricultural landscapes, built (gamma diversity) with the main arterial drainage primarily to facilitate land drainage, irrigate agricul- ditches supporting greater numbers of taxa when tural crops and alleviate flood risk. Most drainage compared to smaller side ditches. Examination of the ditches are considered artificial waterbodies and are between site community heterogeneity (beta diversity) not typically included in routine monitoring pro- indicated that differences among ditches were high grammes, and as a result the faunal and floral spatially and temporally. The results illustrate that communities they support are poorly quantified. This both main arterial and side ditches make a unique paper characterises the aquatic macroinvertebrate contribution to aquatic biodiversity of the agricultural diversity (alpha, beta and gamma) of agricultural landscape. Given the need to maintain drainage drainage ditches managed by an internal drainage ditches to support agriculture and flood defence board in Lincolnshire, UK. The drainage ditches measures, we advocate the application of principles support very diverse macroinvertebrate communities from ‘reconciliation ecology’ to inform the future management and conservation of drainage ditches.
