Abstract

Permanent ponds are valuable freshwater systems and biodiversity hotspots. They provide diverse ecosystem services (ESs), including water quality improvement and supply, food provisioning, and biodiversity support, despite significant pressure from multiple anthropogenic stressors and the impacts of ongoing global change. However, ponds are largely overlooked in management plans and legislation, and ecological research has focused on large freshwater ecosystems, such as rivers or lakes. Protection of ponds is often insufficient or indirectly provided via associated habitats such as wetlands. This situation is likely exacerbated by the lack of a full-scale understanding of the importance of ponds. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of permanent ponds across Europe, including their usages and the biodiversity they support. By discussing the concepts of pondscape and metacommunity theory, we highlight the importance of connectivity among and between ponds and identified fluxes of emerging insects as another ES of ponds. Those insects are rich in essential nutrients such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), delivered through them to the terrestrial environment; however, the extent and impact of this ES remains largely unexplored. Several potential stressors, especially related to ongoing global change, that influence pond diversity and integrity are discussed. We provide our insights on future pond management. Adaptive measures, taking into account the pond system per se within the pondscape, are the most promising to mitigate the loss of natural ponds and restore and conserve natural small waterbodies as refuges and diversity hotspots in increasingly urbanized landscapes.

Abstract

Permanent ponds represent important habitats for aquatic biodiversity and provide vital ecosystem services as key elements for blue landscape connectivity. Although mostly neglected in management programmes, protection schemes and biodiversity studies in general, ponds constitute habitats with high á- and spatial â-diversity, providing unique habitat conditions for many rare and endemic species. The main focus of our contribution is to describe Odonata (including both dragonflies and damselflies) diversity patterns from 46 ponds distributed across Europe. Our data set summarises all Odonate occurrences (i.e., Odonata captured in emerging traps, adults recorded in the surrounding environment and larvae from benthic samples) from the EUROPONDS project - an Early Career Researchers (ECR) project focusing on emerging insects from ponds. Field sampling was conducted during a whole year sampling campaign throughout 2020/21 in 18 European countries. Our preliminary results suggest a clear latitudinal gradient in Odonata diversity across Europe, i.e., the highest α- and β-diversity levels were found in southernmost ponds (Spain) and the lowest diversity in northernmost ponds (Ireland). Odonata that belonged to the four families of Aeshnidae, Libellulidae, Coenagrionidae and Platycnemididae were captured in the emergence traps in only nine out of the total 46 sampled ponds. The most diverse family was Coenagrionidae, which also represented the most abundant odonate family in benthic samples, especially noted in Polish ponds. Among the observed adult specimens of Odonata (42 different taxa), the commonest species across Europe were Sympetrum striolatum, Aeshna cyanea, Anax imperator, Libellula quadrimaculata, Crocothemis erythraea and Enallagma cyathigerum. Additionally, the endemic species Ischnura graellsii and the newly immigrant Trithemis kirbyi were reported from Spanish ponds. These locations constitute their northernmost distributional ranges in Europe. Overall, our findings should contribute to the knowledge on spatial distributions of odonates across European ponds.

Abstract

Whilst being small and shallow, permanent ponds provide valuable habitats for a multitude of organisms as well as provide habitats for animals like aquatic insects and others, including many rare species. These ponds, which were often neglected in limnological studies, were the core of our joint project, the 3rd freshwater project - EUROPONDS in order to evaluate the often overlooked ecological ecosystem services provided by permanent ponds across Europe. As a part of this project, two Hungarian ponds were surveyed for a full year (2020/21). One of the project aims was to assess the freshwater macroinvertebrate assemblages by dip netting over the four annual seasons. Here, we present preliminary results examining the data on larval Odonata of two Hungarian ponds in relation to the physicochemical variables measured, as well as compare the results to a previous national survey. Altogether the examination of 24 waterbodies (22 from a national survey and two from the EUROPONDS project) was carried out in this study. All of the involved water bodies were clustered using a Ward analysis including the water physicochemical parameters into three groups, and then the dragonfly fauna was investigated within the groups found. Diversity metrics and the presence or absence of different species were also included and the results were compared between the different clusters. Herein, we aimed to assess differences between the three main clusters, identify key factors driving the presence of the studied species and the relationship between the diversity indexes and the physicochemical parameters influencing the Odonata communities in the studied ponds.

Abstract

Whilst being generally small and shallow lentic water bodies, ponds provide valuable habitats for a multitude of groups and contribute to habitat connectivity. Semi-aquatic insects emerging from such ponds act as one of the most important vectors of dietary energy to the adjacent terrestrial environment. By providing essential fatty acids, emerging insects constitute an important nutritional food resource for terrestrial (e.g. spiders, lizards, ants) and aerial (e.g. bats, birds) consumers. Broad-scale studies are needed to explore differences in dietary exports encompassing diverse pond types and different landscapes or regions, with the final aim of drawing general patterns. Herein we present the first results of "EUROPONDS". In this ongoing project we quantify the seasonal and spatial variation in insect emergence. In a total of 55 ponds distributed across Europe we installed emergence traps for one week per season over a full year. This broad scale set-up allows us to quantify differences in biomass export between different geographical regions, between rural and urban systems as well as between natural and artificial ponds. The project brings together the knowledge of 80 early-career limnologists from all over Europe and therefore not only provides important insight in the aquatic-terrestrial linkages of ponds, but also provides an important exchange among the future generation of European limnologists.

Abstract

Invertebrates have recently been recognised under a global decline, a situation that seems to be accentuated in continental waterbodies. In the EUROPONDS project we deepened in the contribution of aquatic invertebrates to terrestrial ecosystems, representing countries all over Europe. Our study was encompassed in a restored quarry in Alpedrete, Madrid, Spain, a landscape destined for livestock activities. We evaluated the invertebrate assemblages of a small permanent pond after restoration (physicochemical variables, macroinvertebrates assemblages and macrophytes species) and its contribution to the landscape by the emerging insects. To do that, we have carried out seasonal samplings starting in autumn 2020 and finishing by summer 2021. We detected a highly aquatic biodiversity in our study pond, showing oversaturation of dissolved oxygen concentration and a rich and dense cover of macrophytes. A diverse assemblage of aquatic macroinvertebrates included odonates, heteropterans, coleopterans, culicids, chironomids and ephemeropterans. We located two traps for emergent insects during one week each season, and we captured flying and adult individuals of some of these macroinvertebrates (even 60 chironomids in winter), revealing the importance of this pond for the adjacent landscape. We concluded that our shallow permanent pond shows a high degree of naturalisation due to the huge diversity of fauna and flora recorded. We consider of concern that the cattle’s faeces in the surroundings of the pond could reduce the water quality as detected an increase in nitrate concentration (0,16 mg/L in winter). Therefore, we encourage regional authorities to include this pond in the regional program for wetland conservation.

Globally there’s an astounding and often underestimated number of ponds (small stagnant water bodies). Ponds, whilst directly providing habitats for a multitude of animals and plants, also contribute to habitat connectivity by enabling organisms to cross the landscape, acting as “blue stepping stones”. The diverse community of insects emerging from such ponds acts as a vector of dietary energy to the surrounding terrestrial environment. By providing highly unsaturated fatty acids, emerging insects constitute a high nutritional food resource for terrestrial (e.g. spiders, lizards) and avian (e.g. bats, birds) consumers. One important dietary resource these insects export is essential fatty acids. These are introduced initially into the local food web and then on into the main terrestrial cycle. However, knowledge about the exact ecological role of ponds, their contribution to beta- and gamma-biodiversity, and dietary energy transfer is limited. Herein, we present preliminary results for the first seasonal sampling (Autumn 2020) of our ongoing “EUROPONDS” project. EUROPONDS aims to fill this gap of knowledge on ponds by analyzing 55 ponds distributed across Europe from Sweden in the north to remote Mediterranean islands in the south, from rural areas to large cities, and including both artificial and natural ponds. EUROPONDS brings together around 80 European early-career limnologists and covers autumn, winter, spring, and summer sampling campaigns through 2020/21. Preliminary results from autumn 2020 indicate differences in emerging insect biomass, trophic status of ponds, and between artificial and natural ponds.

Abstract

There are thousands of ponds across Europe, from Lapland to Mediterranean islands and from remote areas to densely populated cities. Most of them provide habitats for animals like aquatic insects and others, even rare species. Ponds also contribute to habitat connectivity and enable organisms to cross the landscape in their function as “blue stepping stones”. Insects emerging from such ponds can be rich in both biodiversity and dietary energy. They provide food and essential fatty acids for terrestrial and avian consumers (bats, birds, spiders, lizards) and thus, important ecosystem services. However, the knowledge about the ecological role of emerging insects from ponds, and their contribution to biodiversity and dietary energy transfer to consumers of adjacent ecosystems is limited. With this project, we aim to fill this gap of knowledge answering some unresolved questions: how does the trophic status of ponds affect the biodiversity and energy content of emerging insects? How different are ponds from various regions, e.g., cities vs. remote areas, in supporting insect biodiversity? Such questions are to be answered through a highly collaborative network of around 80 young freshwater scientists within EUROPONDS.

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) biomass pretreatment methods to produce biofuels. Sorghum is an important food, feed, and fuel crop that serves multiple purposes of human food, pet food, animal feed, and feedstock for bioenergy production. There are enormous opportunities to produce different types of biofuels from sorghum-based biomass. First, composition, structure, and uses of different sorghum plant parts (stalks, leaves, grain, starch, and oil) are briefly described. Then, we present and discuss in detail different pretreatment methods (physical, chemical, physicochemical, and biological) that enable the utilization of sorghum biomass for biofuel production. There have been significant improvements in different pretreatment methods and their efficiencies for biofuel production. The best methods will depend on the availability of facilities and resources. Further investigations should be directed towards developing simpler, more effective and energy-saving technologies for biofuel production from sorghum-based feedstock. Since most of the sorghum pretreatment processes generate inhibitors of microbial growth and reduce product yield, the need for a detoxification stage is emphasized. Future research should focus towards developing the appropriate pretreatment strategies and overall process integration for improved processing of biomass and final biofuel production. A smart combination of two or more pretreatment methods for efficient biomass processing, selective recovery, and reduced inhibitor formation should be researched. A strong collaboration, partnership, and support from industry, private sector, and public sector will be required for successful implementation and establishment of large-scale biofuel production plants from different bioenergy feedstocks.

Abstract

International audience; Permanent ponds are valuable freshwater systems and biodiversity hotspots. They provide diverse ecosystem services (ES), including water quality improvement and supply, food provisioning and biodiversity support. This is despite being under significant pressure from multiple anthropogenic stressors and the impacts of ongoing global change. However, ponds are largely overlooked in management plans and legislation, and ecological research has focused on large freshwater ecosystems, such as rivers or lakes. Protection of ponds is often insufficient or indirectly provided via associated habitats such as wetlands. This phenomenon is likely exacerbated due to lacking a full-scale understanding of the importance of ponds. In this review, we provided a detailed overview of permanent ponds across Europe, including their usages and the biodiversity they support. By discussing the concepts of pondscape and metacommunity theory, we highlighted the importance of connectivity among and between ponds and identified fluxes of emerging insects as another ES of ponds. Those insects are rich in essential nutrients such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which are delivered through them to the terrestrial environment, however the extent and impact of this ES remains largely unexplored. Several potential stressors, especially related to ongoing global change, which influence pond diversity and integrity were discussed. To conclude this review, we provided our insights on future pond management. Adaptive measures, taking into account the pond system per se within the pondscape, were found to be the most promising to mitigate the loss of natural ponds and restore and conserve natural small water bodies as refuges and diversity hotspots in increasingly urbanized landscapes.
