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 MacroinvertebratesResearch & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscbiological quality elementchemical analysisChironomus ripariusDDTslegacy contaminantsPCBsPOPstandard ecotoxicological testsWater Framework Directivelakesinvasion biologynon-indigenous speciesProcambarus ClarkiiPacifastacus LeniusculusOrconectes Limosussnailsendemic speciesinvasive speciesrandom forest modelmultivariate analysispartial dependence analysiscalcrete aquiferepikarsthyporhealhypotelminorhealstygobiontbioassessmenttemporal trendaltitudeclimateinsectsgrain-sizesedimentmacroinvertebratesecological statusmultimetric indicescoevolutionepizoosisgrazingperiphytonscrapersindices and metricssediment qualitySt. Lawrence Riverhighly humic lakesecological status assessmentsaprobic indexgeneral degradation indexResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesBoggero Angelaedt1325188Garzoli LauraedtBoggero AngelaothGarzoli LauraothBOOK9910557665803321Freshwater Macroinvertebrates: Main Gaps and Future Trends3036662UNINA
