Abstract
This PhD thesis addresses the study of macroinvertebrate richness in mountain ponds. It intends to disentangle basic issues related to measuring and estimating richness values, factors influencing biodiversity and the contribution of small water bodies to regional richness. This is the first large-scale study carried out in Spain on macroinvertebrates from mountain ponds, as well as a relevant piece of research in the context of ecosystem management and conservation.
