EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to assess the abundance and family diversity of zooplankton communities in the Belgrade Lakes, and to identify the broad scale and local variables that structure zooplankton communities in this region. The local effects of shoreline development and the presence of macrophyte patches were compared to larger scale variables, such as watershed wide residential development. Zooplankton are an intermediate link in the freshwater food web, and communities respond both to predation pressures as well as nutrient inputs. Shoreline development was expected to influence zooplankton densities by the increased nutrient inputs via erosion off developed sites with no buffer.

India: l08(Part-2) : 111-122,2008 NOTES ON SOME RARE AND INTERESTING CLADOCERANS (CRUSTACEA: BRANCHIOPODA) FROM MEGHALAYA SUMITA SHARMA Eastern Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India, Fruit Gardens, Risa Colony, Shillong-793 003, Meghalaya INTRODUCTION The systematic studies on Freshwater Cladocera of India were initiated by Baird (1860). Since then these micro-crustaceans have been recorded from various localities in different states of the country (Sharma and Michael, 1987; Michael and Sharma, 1988; Sharma, 1991). Investigations on Cladoceran fauna of Meghalaya began in the last quarter of twentieth century and the related contributions are those of Patil (1976), Biswas (1980), Michael and Sharma (1988) and Sharma and Sharma (1999). While working on zooplankton samples collected from the state of Megha1aya, the author came across seven interesting species of Cladocera including two new records from India, four new records from North-Eastern region and one new record from Meghalaya. The present report provides descriptions and illustrations of the recorded cladocerans and remarks are made on their distribution. METE RIALS AND METHODS The present observations are based on plankton samples collected during 2003-2005, and also those collected earlier (during 1988-1990) for the "State Fauna of Meghalaya : Zooplankton Survey", from localities in different districts of Meghalaya state. The examined material include samples deposited in Freshwater Biology Laboratory, Department of Zoology, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong and those in the holdings of the Eastern Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India, Shillong. The examined samples were collected with an nylobolt plankton net (No.

    Contribution À La Connaissance Des Eaux Souterraines Du Danube À Vienne

    AnnlsLimnol. 31 (3) 1995 : 169-178 Contribution à la connaissance des eaux souterraines du Danube à Vienne S. Negrea1 P. Pospisil2 Mots-clés : Cladocera, eaux souterraines, Danube, Lobau. Fondés sur le matériel recueilli pendant deux campagnes de recherches (1971-1980 et 1991-1993) dans les eaux souterraines du Danube à Vienne (zone Lobau), les auteurs font un bilan des Cladocères récoltés dans ce milieu. Parmi les 16 espèces inven• toriées, 5 sont stygophiles : Alonella nana, Chydorus sphaericus, Alona guttata, Acroperus harpae et Biapertura affinis. Toutes les données montrent que les espèces benthiques des eaux souterraines du Lobau sont en liaison étroite avec celles de la surfa• ce (bras mort Eberschiittwasser), formant des populations communes «nappe alluviale-benthos» dont la dynamique est fortement influencée par le régime hydrologique. A contribution to information on the ground water of the Danube near Vienna Keywords : Cladocera, ground water, Danube, Lobau. Cladocera were recorded from samples collected over two periods (1971-1980 and 1991-1993) from the ground water of the Danube near Vienna (Lobau zone). Of the 16 species recorded, 5 are stygophiles : Alonella nana, Chydorus sphaericus, Alona guttata, Acroperus harpae and Biapertura affinis. All the data show that the benthic species of the ground water at Lobau are closely connected with species at the surface (the stagnant arm Ebertschiittwasser) and form the community of the «alluvial-ben- thic stratum», the dynamics of which are strongly influenced by the hydrological conditions. 1.
