“…In dragonflies, the total diversity is centred around central Europe while in stoneflies, caddisflies and mayflies, the highest diversity is found in the Mediterranean Peninsulas (Fochetti & Tierno de Figueroa, 2006;Conti et al, 2013;Schmidt-Kloiber et al, 2017). The area with the highest diversity of dragonflies is centred in the Alps which is also among the richest areas for stoneflies and caddisflies (Fochetti & Tierno de Figueroa, 2006;Schmidt-Kloiber et al, 2017). In dragonflies, this high diversity is caused by the co-occurrence of Mediterranean species in the lowland and more boreal species at higher altitudes within a single grid cell; the mountains themselves are not that rich in dragonflies.…”

Based on a distribution database brought together for the recently published Atlas of the European dragonflies and damselflies, we describe the patterns of diversity and endemism of these insect groups. Highest species richness, as well as richness of predominantly lentic species, occurs in central and western-central Europe. Strictly lotic species have their centre of diversity in southwest France and parts of the Iberian Peninsula. The highest number of endemic species is found in southwest France, the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula. A comparison of the diversity patterns of Odonata species listed in the EU Habitats Directive with those listed in the European Red List highlights a strong mismatch between species threatened in Europe, which are mainly found in the Mediterranean, and species legally protected by the European Union, which are concentrated in central and western Europe. This mismatch has a historical origin, as the species listed in the Habitats Directive were mostly selected in the 1970s and 1980s when water quality in western and central Europe was poor. Since the 1990s, water and habitat quality has improved in these parts of Europe while in the same period the pressure on aquatic habitats in the Mediterranean has increased greatly.Handling editor: Eric R.

“…Fig. 20.3 Occurrence data of Trichoptera, initiated through BioFresh and collected by European caddisfly experts (Schmidt-Kloiber et al 2017, Neu et al 2018 As recovering data becomes increasingly difficult and resource-intensive with age, we advocate the adoption of data management practices that envisage data publication right from the planning and data generation stage onward. Only a wide implementation of open data publishing practices, which includes the generation of metadata and the use of community standards, will enable us to fully exploit the potential of the existing data for supporting management and conservation activities.…”

Since elements of nature and society interact to determine the integrity and trajectory of these systems, they are referred to hereafter as socialecological systems (SESs). This introduction opens the door to these topics in four steps. It begins by explaining why a book dedicated to river management and science is needed at this point. In the second part, it outlines the history of some of the major developments that challenge the integrity of SESs worldwide. In the third part, it describes several of the principal tools used to study as well as manage SES. Tools to measure the degree of degradation of an SES include indicators of biological integrity, ecosystem health, and resilience. Tools to assess and manage the trajectory of an SES include the DPSIR and adaptive management. The introduction closes by outlining the structure of the book through the progression of its chapters. Justification of BookRivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. For more than a centur...

“…Only such a broad, common effort can develop such a holistic picture of the distribution patterns of different species. Biodiversity hotspots as well as sensitive areas of endemic species can be identified (Schmidt-Kloiber et al 2017). Trying to include a broad time line in such a compilation offers views on the effects of historic events, such as glaciation, the origin of species, or the establishment of refugial areas.…”

Species observed in freshwaters are typically good indicators of the health/status of these ecosystems and are therefore frequently analyzed as part of ecological monitoring programs. The biodiversity data generated during such monitoring routines, in combination with data from other ecological studies in freshwaters, can form an invaluable source of information to support sustainable management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems. Pressured by funding agencies such as the EU, the call for open access to data, which enables the reuse of data for addressing large-scale and/or transdisciplinary research problems, is becoming increasingly important. In this chapter we discuss the importance of documenting and describing data and making these metadata available to improve the understanding and discoverability of datasets and specifically examine different facets of biodiversity data. We provide an overview of existing freshwater (biodiversity) information systems that enable data holders to adequately publish their data and find appropriate data for their research.
