La stabilité thermique (12,6 °C) et le renouvellement permanent des eaux des laurons sous un climat méditerranéen permet l'installation d'une faune originale. Par rapport aux communautés palustres voisines on note l'apparition d'espèces sténothermes d'eau froide ayant une répartition boréoalpine et rhéobionte (crénon → rhithron → potamon) dont les plus typiques sont : Pseudamnicola lanceolata et P. anatina (Mollusques), Atractides prosiliens (Hydracariens), Gymno-metriocnemus brumalis, Orthocladius rubicundus, Pseudorthocladius curtistylus (Chironomides), Athripsodes dissimilis (Trichoptère).
Abstract
Thermal stability (12.6 °C) and constant renewal of water in these natural wells under a mediterranean climate has allowed the development of a unique fauna. In comparison with neighbouring swampy communities, there is the presence of cold-water stenotherms that usually have a boreoalpine and rheobiontic distribution (crenon → rhithron → potamon). The most typical species are: Pseudamnicola lanceolata and P. anatina (molluscs), Atractides prosiliens (Hydracarina), Gymnometriocnemus brumalis, Orthocladius rubicundus, Pseudorthocladius curtistylus (chironomids), Athripsodes dissimilis (Trichoptera).
