Abstract

dichotomous identification keys freshwater arthropod taxonomy Mediterranean biodiversity
Aside from being the cradle of Western civilization and a region of high inherent cultural, geographical, and ecological importance, the Mediterranean Basin contains fascinating biodiversity in its freshwater lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands. We present here an illustrated book that provides the users with the information needed to identify aquatic arthropods at various taxonomic levels. Further, we provide information on methods to collect, preserve, and prepare specimens for identification, and each taxonomic chapter contains information on the ecology and biology of the organisms and relevant literature citations.
