AB  - The Balkan Peninsula is known as a biodiversity hotspot. This area is characterized by diverse climate, orographic and hydrological conditions which represent a good basis for the diversity of flora and fauna. The fauna of leeches (Hirudinea) is no exception. The majority of European species are recorded in this area, many of which are endemic to the Balkans. Contemporary studies have described several species new to the science, and a few subspecies have been risen to the species level after detailed investigation (Croatobranchus maestrovi, Dina krasensis, D. dinarica, D. minuoculata, D. sketi, D. prokletijaca, Trocheta dalmatina, Glossiphonia balcanica). The area of Dinaric Alps (Karst) with its springs, streams and glacial lakes are home to almost all of these newly described species but also other common European species. These habitats are under various anthropogenic pressure, springs are driven in to pipes for irrigation or for human use, and on many small rivers mini hydro-power plants are being built which further endanger these fragile habitats and animal communities that inhabit them. The Mediterranean medicinal leech (H. verbana) was exported in large numbers through history form the area of Balkan Peninsula to Western Europe for medicinal use. Today, species of medicinal leeches are under numerous international and national protection acts and its trade and commercial use is very limited or prohibited. The main threat is the destruction and deterioration of suitable habitats, mainly wetland areas, marshes and ponds in the flood zones of rivers.

AB  - The Balkan Peninsula is a vital part of Europe’s biodiversity in respect to freshwater gastropods and many of recorded taxa are stenobionts of narrow distribution. This chapter presents review of the freshwater gastropod fauna distribution in springs, small mountain streams (first order streams), and groundwaters of the Western Balkan and points to the main threats that influence the decline of diversity of this important group of aquatic organisms. Due to the complexity of the topic, small standing waters have not been considered here. The most significant threats to the diversity of freshwater gastropods in small streams are habitat degradation (physical destruction of habitats due to mini hydropower plants construction, hydro-technical works related to flood protection, faulty forest management excavation of material), and water abstraction. Knowledge of a considerable number of Balkan gastropod species, underlines the importance for the long-term conservation of biodiversity in this part of Europe.

AB  - The territory of Montenegro includes three freshwater ecoregional units: the Dalmatian, the Southeastern Adriatic, and the Dniester-Lower Danube Ecoregions. The boundaries of the Dalmatian and Southeastern Adriatic Ecoregions in Montenegro are not clear and require revision. Contrary to the accepted FEOW global freshwater ecoregion system, which places the eastern border of the Dalmatian Ecoregion near the town of Budva, we have accepted that the eastern border of the Dalmatian Ecoregion ends or overlaps with the eastern boundary of the Trebišnjica river basin (Lake Bileć). The northwestern boundaries of the Southeastern Adriatic Ecoregion overlap with the distribution border of the fish Pelasgus minutus. We emphasize that not only those fish that are traditionally used to model ecoregional delineations of freshwater ecosystems but also other groups of organisms, such as underground fauna, have proven to be good biogeographical indicators, especially in the karst areas where surface running waters are scarce and drains underground. The karst had a decisive influence on the hydrographic isolation and vicariance, which has led to high numbers of so-called local endemics, whose distribution has been useful in understanding the biogeographic patterns of river basins in Montenegro. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the diversity and ecology issues related to the aquatic biota of the main river basins in Montenegro and identify the main gaps in our knowledge on these unique ecosystems.

AB  - This concluding chapter briefly describes the main conclusions presented in the book The Rivers of Montenegro which has 12 chapters aimed at providing an extensive overview of the various hydrological and environmental aspects of the rivers and their basins in Montenegro. The book emphasizes the current gaps, recent advances, and future prospects of our knowledge of aquatic ecosystems in Montenegro which in the last decade has become the focus of ecological, social, and economic changes. This has led to an increase in potential conflicts over the management of water resources. Conflict between biodiversity conservation on the one hand and general human activity on the other is most commonly recognized in the public. However, recent emerging lessons from the development of small hydropower plants in Montenegro revealed that conflicts are much more complex and can severely affect both socioeconomic and ecological parameters.This book gives an ecologist’s perspective on these conflicts through a consensus approach that could expedite water resource protection taking into account the interests of all involved parties including the aims of governments and local communities, as well as environmental and flood control concerns.

AB  - The literature data on the microbiological water quality of the surface and groundwaters in Montenegro is very scarce. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an insight in the microbiological water quality of rivers in Montenegro by compiling the data obtained in period 2009–2018 in national monitoring program and the data collected within the Montenegro survey in 2019 with an emphasis on the hotspots of faecal pollution and possible sources of pollution. Despite the high risk that poor implementation of wastewater treatment might represent for Montenegro, the obtained dataset indicates that overall microbiological water quality of rivers in Montenegro is quite good. About 80% of the investigated sites have bathing water quality according to Montenegrin legislation. Only four sites were identified as hotspots of faecal pollution where the human source of pollution prevails.

AB  - Montenegrin surface water and groundwater are important for the Balkan Peninsula since they are connected by the transboundary Dinaric Karst Aquifer System with the waters of additional five countries. The pollution from the surface water can rapidly infiltrate in aquifer and endanger this sensible ecosystem and the health of humans through drinking water supply. This chapter gives insights in the pressures of pollution on Montenegrin waters and in a limited literature data regarding freshwater ecotoxicological studies in Montenegro. Also, this chapter provides new ecotoxicological data obtained during survey in 2019, with a focus on the sites which are identified as hotspots of fecal pollution. The highest responses of biomarkers which indicate embryotoxic, genotoxic, and phytotoxic effects in zebrafish embryo test and in roots of Allium cepa were obtained at Ćehotina – downstream of Pljevlja. Similar results were detected at the site downstream Mojkovac at Tara, yet this site is affected by different type of pollution. Genotoxic endpoints in zebrafish stressed out sites on Morača and Lim rivers which are under pressures of fecal pollution. The data in this chapter provides an insight into current status obtained by the ex situ bioassays and indicates need for more comprehensive in situ assessment.

AB  - Molluscs are diverse and abundant component of macroinvertebrate assemblages inhabiting different types of river ecosystems. According to the literature data, a total of 143 freshwater mollusc taxa have been recorded for freshwater ecosystems of Montenegro. Gastropoda was represented by 120 taxa from 14 families, while the Bivalvia was represented by 23 species from 4 families. The typology of river and lake water bodies of Montenegro has been carried out according to the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). In this study we used a simple river typology of Montenegrin watercourses based on two descriptors, the river size and the altitude. Our preliminary result revealed that the obtained mollusc assemblage clusters satisfactorily describe two main river types, the lowland portions of the large rivers in the Adriatic Sea Basin and the large- and medium-sized rivers at the mid-altitude. For a more confident water body typology based on mollusc assemblages, additional studies are highly needed.

AB  - The surface area of Montenegro’s portion of the Black Sea drainage basin is 7075 km2, or 0.9% of the entire basin, and is made up of the rivers Tara, Piva, Lim, Ćehotina and Ibar, and Lake Plav. The major polluters of watercourses are wastewaters and solid waste from inhabited settlements. According to water categorization regulations, the rivers of the Danube Basin in Montenegro are, based on the status quo, classified into four quality classes. Thus, the mid- and lower courses of the larger rivers fall within quality classes II and III. The water quality of the Lim, downstream of Berane, worsens at its exit from Montenegro and falls into quality class III. The Ibar profile downstream of Bać is largely out of a prescribed class. The Ćehotina downstream of Pljevlja is in water quality class III, and occasionally out of a prescribed class. The Tara belongs to the Durmitor National Park, but its water quality is class I only at its most upstream profile; its profiles downstream of Kolašin are from class II to class III. These findings are confirmed by analyses of their aquatic macroinvertebrate communities, i.e. Oligochaeta, as bioindicators of water quality. The ichthyofauna of the Danube Basin rivers in Montenegro comprises 20 fish species. Hydromorphological alterations of watercourses, such as dam construction, have a significant effect on fish populations. Thus, the dam on the Piva river has a negative effect on the fish population, presenting a barrier to migration routes, as is the case with huchen or Danube salmon (Hucho hucho).

AB  - This book reviews the current state of knowledge on, recent advances in, and future prospects of Montenegrin river basins in the context of anthropogenic activities. Edited by three respected experts in the field, the book begins with an introduction to the specific hydrogeological conditions in Montenegro and critical reflections on the impact of hydropower projects. It then reviews the vulnerability of river ecosystems, exploring potential genotoxic effects and water quality, and explaining typology and monitoring of these aspects, and particularly highlighting mollusk assemblages and monitoring of intermittent rivers. The closing chapters focus on the impact of river flooding and discuss controversial projects aiming to find an approach mutually acceptable to all stakeholders. Given its scope, the book is an indispensable resource for scientists in academia and the water industry, as well as for decision-makers in the field investigating the interactions between land and water, limnology and biota, and natural and cultural resources.

AB  - This study is the result of extensive investigations of leeches on the Balkan Peninsula. Our aim was to detect actual and potential (modeled) distributions of common Erpobdellidae species, and to identify their ecological differentiation with respect to the altitudinal and waterbody type gradient. Although widespread, these species rarely live together. Intense competition is avoided by preferences for different types of habitats. This was confirmed by Pearson correlation analyses that yielded negative results. Differentiation of these species was clarified by the results of logistic Gaussian regression analyses. While Erpobdella octoculata and Dina lineata have a similar distribution along the altitudinal gradient, they prefer different waterbody types. Erpobdella vilnensis prefers higher altitudes than the other two species. Its preferred habitats are smaller rivers and streams located at altitudes from 400 to 1000 m a.s.l. Although present in all waterbody types, large lowland rivers and standing waterbodies are the preferred habitats of E. octoculata. Fast-flowing springs and streams are mostly inhabited by D. lineata. While the distribution of the species overlaps to a large degree, the ecological preferences of species differ significantly and thus they can be used as confident typological descriptors and indicators of ecological status.

AB  - The river network in Montenegro is primarily affected by the geological processes in the karst which dominates the Montenegrin landscape. All the surface and groundwater from the territory of Montenegro flow into the Black and Adriatic Seas, with approximately 45.4% (6,268 km2) of its surface belonging to the Adriatic and 7,545 km2 (about 54.6%) to the Black Sea (Danube) basin. As one of the last remaining strongholds of unvalorized resources, the Montenegrin rivers have become a point of possible conflict as they become the object of the social, political, ecological, and economic changes through which the country has passed, most especially in recent decades. As a result of the poor management of aquatic resources and the absence of an established set of equitable sharing principles among all the parties involved, the number of conflicts over the exploitation of the water resources has increased, not only in its role as an economic and biodiversity issues but also with the active involvement and participation of the local community. This book aims to provide an extensive overview of the various limnological and hydrobiological aspects of the Montenegrin river basins, so as to stimulate a science-based management approach to the use of water resources.

AB  - The aim of this study was to reveal faunistic and diversity patterns and to assess the effects of environmental factors on the differentiation of leech communities. This study covers investigations of 82 karst springs in Montenegro from 2009–2017. The communities were analyzed in respect to five wellspring types – caves, sublacustrine, limnocrene, rheo-limnocrene and rheocrene. The percentage of substrate types and aquatic vegetation cover was recorded alongside water parameters. In total, 18 leech species were identified, of which two were recently described as new species for science ( Dina minuoculata Grosser, Moritz and Pešić, 2007 and Glossiphonia balcanica Grosser and Pešić, 2016). K -means clustering was used to classify leech assemblages into three homogenous groups. The patterns of leech communities and the components of both alpha and beta diversity were examined in identified groups of assemblages. The significance of environmental factors and the impact of selected factors were assessed through forward selection analysis, CCA and RDA. Our results indicate that the type of spring and the environmental variables, as well as the combination of biotic and abiotic factors in a microhabitat dictate the distribution of leeches.
