This study presents the first comprehensive investigation of water beetles in oligotrophic hydrosystems with tufa formation in southeastern Europe. Biological and ecological traits of so far poorly studied species are revealed.The results provide a basis for future investigations, and demonstrate the potential of Elmidae as water quality indicators in this region.
