ABSTRACT Pollution significantly impacts aquatic biodiversity by limiting the species pool. However, considerable uncertainty remains regarding which community attributes should be used to demonstrate the effects of this anthropogenic disturbance. We propose that zooplankton taxonomic biodiversity could serve as a reliable pollution indicator in lentic

ABSTRACT Motivation Groundwater ecosystems sustain a unique and globally important biodiversity but remain understudied due to sampling and exploration challenges, as well as a shortage of taxonomic experts. Groundwater ostracods, like other groundwater taxa, exhibit a high degree of endemism, rarity and subterranean specialisation, positioning them as
