All submitted papers will undergo normal peer review process and will be selected by their quality, by the guest editors, pending final agreement of publication by the Hydrobiologia Editor in Chief. We intend to publish 15-20 high-quality contributions (of approximately 6-15 printed pages each). We plan to provide fifty offprints of each individual paper free of charge.
