With the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), the member states
have to classify the ecological status of surface waters following standardised procedures. It …

A survey of c. 350 remote high altitude and high latitude lakes from 11 different mountain
regions was undertaken to explore species distribution across Europe at a scale not …

This chapter considers a range of numerical techniques that lie outside the familiar statistical
methods of linear regression, analysis of variance, and generalised linear models or data …

Cladocerans are widely distributed in aquatic ecosystems and are sensitive to
environmental changes; hence, they are commonly used to trace ecological changes in …

The dominant processes determining biological structure in lakes at millennial timescales
are complex. In this study, we used a multi-proxy approach to determine the relative …

Niche separation of 22 species of benthic Chydoridae was examined in a depth gradient in
the littoral zone of a deep Lake Piaseczno (eastern Poland), by using a trap sampler …

Hierarchical clustering methods and partitioning techniques such as K-means partitioning
and two-way indicator species analysis are useful tools for summarising group structure …

The usability of subfossil Cladocera assemblages in reconstructing long-term changes in
lake level was examined by testing the relationship between Cladocera-based …

Intra-lake variation of fossil Cladocera (Crustacea) assemblages in 31 surface sediment
samples in Lake Pieni-Kauro and River Saavanjoki, eastern Finland, was examined with an …

Daphnia and Bosmina fragments were identified and measured in the surface sediments of
42 lakes in the Muskoka-Haliburton region of Ontario, Canada, in an attempt to identify …
