Mediterranean temporary ponds (MTPs) are very specialised and threatened habitats found in Mediterranean-like bioclimates worldwide. MTPs have received considerable attention over the past years because of the multiple ecological roles they play in the landscape. Nevertheless, seed germination, dormancy, and desiccation tolerance of species living in MTPs are poorly investigated. Here, we reviewed these topics and found that seed germination data exist for only 48 species. While dormancy differs among the species, germination mostly depends on cool temperatures (
