Indeed, environmental modifications (e.g., nitrogen deposition, salinity, and temperature increase), pollution (e.g., pesticides and heavy metals), and introduction of alien species are the main drivers of changes that are affecting their communities. This Special Issue aims to present the past and present knowledge on freshwater macroinvertebrates to understand their role as providers of ecosystem services, to highlight the effects of global changes on their community (in the short and long term), and to underline major gaps in their study. Finally, in order to tackle the currently unsustainable use of freshwater natural capital, we welcome ideas and expert opinions on the development of future research linked to national and international regulations.Freshwater MacroinvertebratesBiology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscaltitudebioassessmentbiological quality elementcalcrete aquiferchemical analysisChironomus ripariusclimatecoevolutionDDTsecological statusecological status assessmentendemic speciesepikarstepizoosisgeneral degradation indexgrain-sizegrazinghighly humic lakeshyporhealhypotelminorhealindices and metricsinsectsinvasion biologyinvasive specieslakeslegacy contaminantsmacroinvertebratesmultimetric indicesmultivariate analysisnon-indigenous speciesOrconectes LimosusPacifastacus Leniusculuspartial dependence analysisPCBsperiphytonPOPProcambarus Clarkiirandom forest modelsaprobic indexscraperssedimentsediment qualitysnailsSt. Lawrence Riverstandard ecotoxicological testsstygobionttemporal trendWater Framework DirectiveBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalBoggero Angelaedt1325188Garzoli LauraedtBoggero AngelaothGarzoli LauraothBOOK9910557665803321Freshwater Macroinvertebrates: Main Gaps and Future Trends3036662UNINA
