| Abstract: | The composition and distribution of benthic, periphytic and planktonic rotifers in different habitats in Krottensee were investigated.
Sixty-five rotifer taxa were identified, their relative abundance estimated.
Classification of the data set by cluster analysis allowed the recognition of distinct habitat groups confined to acid bog
ponds, macrophytes, sediments and open water. Five groups of rotifer taxa were identified on the basis of their habitat preferences
and the occurrence of the taxa. Highest diversities were found on macrophytes and in acid bog ponds. |
