Underground mining can contribute to freshwater biodiversity conservation: Allogenic succession forms suitable habitats for dragonflies

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Human-induced changes negatively affect all components of freshwater ecosystems and comprise the major cause of global loss of diversity and the biotic homogenization of freshwater faunas. The high diversity of dragonflies in heavily industrialized areas is therefore paradoxical, to say the least. We compared diversity of dragonflies in three main freshwater habitat types (natural and human-made) occurring in Uppe...
