Foreword -- The influence of "Homage to Santa Rosalia" on aquatic ecology: a scientometric approach -- Linking traits to species diversity and community structure in phytoplankton -- Drivers of phytoplankton diversity in Lake Tanganyika -- Rarity, ecological memory, rate of floral change in phytoplankton-and the mystery of the Red Cock -- Diversity and community biomass depend on dispersal and disturbance in microalgal communities -- Influence of nutrients, submerged macrophytes and zooplankton grazing on phytoplankton biomass and diversity along a latitudinal gradient in Europe -- Why are there so many kinds of planktonic consumers? The answer lies in the allometric diet breadth -- Absence of predation eliminates coexistence: experience from the fish-zooplankton interface -- On non-Eltonian methods of hunting Cladocera, or impacts of the introduction of planktivorous fish on zooplankton composition and clear-water phase occurrence in a Mediterranean reservoir -- Out of Alaska: morphological diversity within the genus Eurytemora from its ancestral Alaskan range (Crustacea, Copepoda) -- Does lake age affect zooplankton diversity in Mediterranean lakes and reservoirs? A case study from southern Italy -- Homage to Hutchinson: does inter-annual climate variability affect zooplankton density and diversity? -- Homage to the Virgin of Ecology, or why an aquatic insect unadapted to desiccation may maintain populations in very small, temporary Mediterranean streams -- Winning the biodiversity arms race among freshwater gastropods: competition and coexistence through shell variability and predator avoidance -- Stygobiotic crustacean species richness: a question of numbers, a matter of scale -- Santa Rosalia, the icon of biodiversity.
