Temporal succession of the macroinvertebrate fauna in a Corsican temporary pond (original) (raw)

The study investigates the temporal succession of macroinvertebrate fauna in a temporary pond in Corsica from November 2001 to May 2002. It highlights the adaptive strategies of organisms in cyclic drying habitats and describes distinct ecological phases of the pond life. Data on species diversity, abundance, and the influence of seasonal changes on species colonization are provided, enhancing understanding of the ecological dynamics of temporary freshwater ecosystems in the Mediterranean region.
