Cover illustration: The Upper Paraná River floodplain in southern Brazil has a high richness of aquatic macrophytes, here showing stands of mainly Eichhornia azurea and E. crassipes, which are important biotopes for both vertebrates and invertebrates. The photo shows a view of the Baía River, a tributary of the Upper Paraná River. Photograph by Janet Higuti (Hydrobiologia 807, pp. 175–188).
