    The rainfall regime and the karstic nature of the subsoil determines the alternation of a period of flow and a period of drought for a large number of Mediterranean streams. Amongst this type of stream it is possible to distinguish temporary streams, characterised by a period of flow for several months permitting the establishment of the principal groups of aquatic insects; and ephemeral streams whose very brief period of flow permits the establishment of a community reduced to a few species of Diptera. This paper aims to study the structure of the communities which colonise this particular type of stream and the ecology of the principal species which constitute these communities. Four French temporary streams were examined and temperature regimes, dissolved oxygen, calcium and magnesium measured. Samples of fauna were taken regularly and the biotic composition established. The analysis of similarities between the three permanent streams are discussed and compared with permanent streams

    Comparaison de ruisseaux permanents et temporaires de la Provence Calcaire

    La comparaison de ruisseaux temporaires et permanents a été réalisée afin de déterminer leurs affinités. On a noté une stabilité des facteurs physiques et chimiques dans les ruisseaux permanents et pendant la phase lotique des ruisseaux temporaires; la phase stagnante des ruisseaux temporaires se révèle très instable. La comparaison des facteurs biotiques révèle l'affinité des ruisseaux permanents calmes et des ruisseaux temporaires. Les ruisseaux permanents à cours rapide et les ruisseaux temporaires sont peu affines. Quelques populations spécifiques peuvent survivre à la période sèche des ruisseaux temporaires, seulement lorsque la nappe phréatique est présente en profondeur
