Abstract
The presence of Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (Araneae: Pisauridae) in the Ebro Delta extends its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula southwards The rare Dolomedes plantarius has been observed in a permanent pond (“ullal”) in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia, north-eastern Spain). This is the most meridional record registered in the Iberian Peninsula, and perhaps in western Europe. Thus, the presence of this semiaquatic species may vary our assumptions on its rarity. Such finding evidences the relevance of aquatic environments in general and “ullals” in particular for biodiversity conservation, as well as the importance of considering both the semiaquatic and the terrestrial species inhabiting them.
期刊介绍:
Limnetica publishes original research articles on the ecology of inland waters. The scope of Limnetica includes the ecology of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, coastal lagoons and wetlands, as well as biogeochemistry, paleolimnology, development of new methodologies, taxonomy, biogeography and any aspect of theoretical and applied continental aquatic ecology such as management and conservation, impact assessment, ecotoxicology and pollution. Limnetica will accept for its publication scientific articles presenting advances in knowledge or technological development, as well as as papers derived from new practical approaches on the topics covered by the journal.
