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  - Mayflies are amphibious insects which represent an important link in food and energy transfer from aquatic to terrestrial habitats. They constitute a large proportion of the aquatic ecosystems’ biomass. Although our knowledge about mayfly (bio)diversity in the Balkan Peninsula is still far from complete, more extensive systematic studies have been conducted within the last decade. In this chapter we explore development of mayfly research in the area of the Western Balkans, mayfly species richness in various small lotic habitats, including springs, streams and rivers, and determine the importance of such habitats for conservation of local mayflies. We discuss the value of mayflies as bioindicators of freshwater ecosystems’ health, as well as the influences of various anthropogenic activities on mayfly assemblages in small lotic habitats of the Western Balkans. Moreover, we present current gaps in research and we give recommendations for future directions of mayfly research in the area of the Western Balkans.

AB  - In these times of aggressive and enormous anthropogenic alterations of freshwater aquatic habitats throughout the Western Balkans, including drying out, pollution or the introduction of invasive species, the value of small water bodies (SWB) as refugia for local amphibians is clearly increasing. A network of SWB could be crucial for the conservation of local amphibian richness, if this network is properly maintained and monitored. Together, countries of the Western Balkan harbor 29 amphibian species and only one of these species does not use SWB. Almost all those countries share the same challenges—drainage, technical flood protection measures, channelization, planned small dam construction, agriculture, deforestation, pollution, road construction and decrease of aquifers. The conservation of SWB in the region is related to the socio-economic status of the people i.e. to the stimulation of local stakeholders to continue with the traditional practices of agriculture and animal husbandry, including maintenance of SWB, and to their continuous education on importance of SWB for preservation of high values of local biodiversity.

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  - Due to topographic, climatic, geological and soil complexity, vegetation of Montenegro is remarkably diverse. We reviewed plant communities of Montenegro by focusing attention on vegetation in ravine habitats. Some of the main rivers of Montenegro (the Morača, Komarnica, Piva and Tara Rivers) flow through spectacular canyons. Due to relatively low climate-induced and human-induced disturbances of habitats, the ravine vegetation in Montenegro represents an important biodiversity hotspot and significant pool of rare, paleo-endemic species.

We performed comparative analyses of biodiversity in mesic forests that occur in non-ravine habitats (alliances Aremonio-Fagion (Horvat 1950), Borhidi in Török et al. 1989 and Galio odorati-Fagion sylvaticae Knapp ex Tx. et Oberd. 1958) and in numerous canyons of Montenegro [alliances Ostryo-Fagion Borhidi 1963 and Ostryo carpinifoliae-Tilion platyphylli (Košir et al. 2008) Čarni in Willner et al. 2016]. Both alpha diversity (within-community diversity) and beta diversity (diversity among communities) are significantly greater in canyons than in non-ravine habitats.

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.
