“…In the context of changing world (climate, landscapes, water uses, and environmental policies), we can now ascertain that ponds are biodiversity hotspots both in terms of species composition and biological traits, and have a significant role to play in the provision of ecosystem services (EPCN, 2008). In addition, available data point toward the idea that artificial, ''man-made'' ponds are not fundamentally ecologically different from the ''natural'' ones (de Marco et al, 2013). Biological diversity of man-made ponds in farmed and urban landscapes was unambiguously related to wellknown ecological patterns (regionalization of assemblages, species-area effect, and successional patterns; Declerck et al, 2006;Céréghino et al, 2008b;Ruhí et al, 2012) rather than to particular uses (Scher & Thiéry, 2005;Ruggiero et al, 2008;Le Viol et al, 2009).…”

The fifth conference of the European Pond Conservation Network (Luxembourg, June 2012) brought together researchers, environmental managers, and other stakeholders with the aim to share stateof-the-art knowledge on the ecology, management, and conservation of ponds in the context of the many challenges facing the wider water environment. Although well-known ecological patterns apply to most ponds in Europe and elsewhere, recent data highlight that part of the environmental variables governing pond biodiversity remain specific to climatic/biogeographic regions and to elevation ranges, suggesting that, in addition to common practice, management plans should include range-specific measures. Beyond the contribution of individual ponds to the aquatic and terrestrial life, connected networks of ponds are vital in the provision of new climate space as a response to global climate change, by allowing the observed northward and/or upward movements of species. In terms of services, ponds offer sustainable solutions to key issues of water management and climate change such as nutrient retention, rainfall interception, or carbon sequestration. While the ecological role of ponds is now wellestablished, authoritative research-based advice remains needed to inform future direction in the conservation of small water bodies and to further bridge the gap between science and practice.

“…There has been a significant increase in research attention directed towards pond habitats and their biota in recent years (Cereghino et al 2014), yet the majority of studies have focussed on ecological communities among ponds in rural and agricultural landscapes (e.g., Usio et al 2013;De Marco Jr et al 2014;Simaika et al 2016). By contrast, urban ponds have received less research attention globally (see Hassall 2014), despite predictions that global urban land coverage is set to increase by 1.2 million km 2 by 2030 (Seto et al 2012).…”

Community heterogeneity of aquatic macroinvertebrates in urban ponds at a multi-city scale

Purpose Urbanisation is a leading cause of biotic homogenisation in urban ecosystems. However, there has been little research examining the effect of urbanisation and biotic homogenisation on aquatic communities, and few studies have compared findings across different urban landscapes. We assessed the processes that structure aquatic macroinvertebrate diversity within five UK cities and characterise the heterogeneity of pond macroinvertebrate communities within and among urban areas. Methods A total of 132 ponds were sampled for invertebrates to characterise biological communities of ponds across five UK cities. Variation among sites within cities, and variation among urban settlements, was partitioned into components of beta diversity relating to turnover and nestedness.Results We recorded 337 macroinvertebrate taxa, and species turnover almost entirely accounted for the high beta-diversity recorded within each urban area and when all ponds were considered. A total of 40% of all macroinvertebrates recorded were unique to a particular urban settlement. In contrast to the homogenisation of terrestrial and lotic communities in urban landscapes reported in the literature, ponds support highly heterogeneous communities within and among urban settlements. Conclusions The high species turnover (species replacement) recorded in this study demonstrates that urban pond biodiversity conservation would be most 123Landscape Ecol (2018) 33:389-405 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-018-0608-1 efficient at a landscape-scale, rather than at the individual ponds scale. Pond conservation practices need to consider the spatial organization of ecological communities (landscape-scale) to ensure that the maximum possible biodiversity can be protected.

“…The Brazilian Odonata are still poorly described, despite a few publications with ecological approach, species lists are known only from São Paulo (Costa et al 2000); Espírito Santo (Costa & Oldrini 2005); Minas Gerais (Souza et al 2013) for Mata do Baú specifically; and Mato Grosso (Calvão et al 2014) this last one being restricted only to a small region of the state. The most recent Odonata inventory for the state of Rio Grande do Sul is , for the central region, and Kittel & Engels (2014), from a nature reserve (Pró-mata/PUCRS), with sampling performed only in open areas in forest surroundings and restricted to the Zygoptera suborder.…”

A survey of Odonata was carried out in the National Forest FLONA - SFP, Northeastern region of the Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. This conservation unit is mainly covered by Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (MOF), a subtype of Atlantic Forest biome, being also areas covered in planted Pinus, planted Araucaria and open fields. Our sampling efforts were conducted in thirty aquatic environments inside this reserve during the period between January 2014 and November 2014. The sampling sites were selected randomly, comprehending lakes, bogs, small streams and river sections, all inserted in the four vegetation types occurring in the reserve. Fortysix species of Odonata were collected and grouped into 23 genera and seven families. The dominant families were Coenagrionidae (32%), Libellulidae (32%), Aeshnidae (12%), and, Calopterygidae and Lestidae (9%). As expected, the findings revealed the presence of a highly diverse Odonate assemblage, mainly represented by generalist species in the most human disturbed sectors (Pinus and Open fields) and some specialist species in the pristine forest. Two species were registered for the first time in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: Libellula herculea Karsch, 1889 (Libellulidae) and Heteragrion luizfelipei Machado, 2006 (Heteragrionidae).
