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

In this study, the concept of functional traits was used to classify zooplankton into functional
groups and their seasonal dynamics were determined in relation to physico-chemical factors …

The ecological impacts of urbanization and eutrophication on zooplankton communities in
urban waterbodies have recently gained wide interest. Study findings vary across species …

Thanks to their short life cycles, rotifers react rapidly to changes in environmental conditions
and so may be useful for biological monitoring. The objective of this paper was to investigate …

Data on the variability in structure and functioning of interstitial rotifer assemblages are rare;
however, this knowledge is essential for understanding their role in the interstitial food web …

As methods for assessing the environmental conditions in ponds are still not well developed,
I studied zooplankton to identify a response of community indices to abiotic, biotic, and …

Plankton communities constitute an important part of the biodiversity in shallow lentic
ecosystems (SLEs). Understanding their diversity responses to increasing human pressure …

The most common groups of freshwater metazooplankton in Lake Skadar/Shkodra are
rotifers, copepods, and cladoceran microcrustacean. Rotifers dominate in the zooplankton …

River ecosystems are among the most affected habitats globally by human activities, such as
the release of industrial, agricultural and domestic pollutants to the rivers. However, how …

This study aims to determine the abundance and composition of zooplankton in the waters
of Doreri Bay. Water samples were taken at a depth of 5 meters and 10 meters at 2 research …
