Due to their small area and shallow depth ponds are usually treated as a single sampling
unit, while various microhabitats offer different environmental conditions. Thus, we tested the …

Despite the large number of ponds scattered across the landscape, there is still insufficient
recognition of their functioning. This would require the development of methods for …

Zooplankton structure may serve as predictor of a multiplicity of environmental conditions,
including long-scale distance between shallow water bodies. Two different categories of …

Rotifers display r‐strategy life‐histories and are adaptable to environmental disturbances.
Although rotifers constitute a large proportion of zooplankton in river‐floodplain systems, the …

We assessed the zooplankton assemblages in four temperate shallow waterbodies differing
in macrophyte coverage and alternative states: transparent vs. turbid. The main objectives of …

Light intensity plays an important role in determining the distribution of submerged
macrophyte. A modified SAVM (M-SAVM) was constructed to simulate the role of epiphyton …

Cyanobacteria are an important component of microalgae communities in aquatic
ecosystems, however, their response to environmental factors in different habitats and …

Over the last century, a rich literature has developed describing how the physical and
chemical environment influences zooplankton communities, but there is little guidance on …

Artificial waterways are characterized by dams and locks that slow water flow. Such
conditions can influence the environment of freshwater organisms, including the …

The aquatic microfauna of Africa is poorly characterized, especially in the case of planktonic
rotifers inhabiting waterbodies other than large lakes. In addition, little is known about factors …
