Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tropical aquatic systems and their biodiversity are threatened by several anthropogenic activities. In this challenging scenario, to know tropical diversity, evaluating and monitoring different aquatic systems and identify bioindicator species becomes essential to make manegement/conservation measures and develop public policies more effective. This Special Issue will focus on tropical aquatic biodiversity and its distribution with implications for biomonitoring, management and conservation. Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts on the following topics:
- Tropical ecology and species diversity
- Effects of anthropic activities on aquatic systems and diversity/distribution of tropical aquatic species.
- Biomonitoring, management and conservation of tropical aquatic systems and their species.
- Studies of bioindicator species in tropical aquatic systems.
