**About the Editors**

#### **Angela Boggero**

Boggero Angela is researcher at the National Research Council–Water Research Institute (CNR-IRSA), Verbania Pallanza, Italy. Her work is mainly focused on the effects of human-induced impacts (e.g., climate change, acidification, eutrophication, hydro-morphology, persistent organic pollutants, and alien invasive species) on the structure of macroinvertebrate assemblages and, more in general, on freshwater native biodiversity through a macro-ecological approach. Her interests include taxonomy, biogeography, and ecology of freshwater chironomids and oligochaetes, water management, ecological bioindication and biomonitoring also through biomolecular techniques, and invasive crayfish species.

#### **Laura Garzoli**

Garzoli Laura is researcher at the National Research Council–Water Research Institute (CNR-IRSA), Verbania Pallanza, Italy. A biologist, she obtained her PhD in Experimental Ecology and Geobotany at the University of Pavia. She has a decade of experience as a fungal taxonomist, focusing her activity on marine and plant pathogenic fungi (mainly Pyricularia oryzae), and gaining experience in biothecnological applications and diagnostic for industries. She also works on invasive/non-native species, with a focus on alien crayfish, trying to define managing strategies for their control, and raising awareness on the issue. She is a member of the Executive Committee of INVASIVESNET–the global network of networks on Invasive Alien Species. She is curating the global survey on invasive alien species organizations and networks, contributing also to the upcoming IPBES invasive alien species assessment.
