We studied nutrient-limitation of bacterioplankton growth in Lake Constance, a mesotrophic lake, between February and August in 1992. We amended 1-ฮผm filtrates with a single nutrient or nutrient combinations at 5 or 10 ฮผm final concentration, and the limiting nutrient or nutrient combination was inf

โฆ Synopsis
Seasonal changes of species diversity (H r ) and average spatial overlap (Oik) of planktonic rotifers in a mesotrophic lake were examined with respect to their dependence on habitat diversity (H h ) and on a predator (Asplanchna herricki) . H r was positively correlated with the density of A . herricki and with H h . In the absence of A . herricki there was no correlation between H r and H h. Oik was negatively correlated with the density of A . herricki and with H h ; the correlation between O ak and H h was independent of the presence of the predator .

Dissolved carbohydrates comprise one of the largest pools of labile organic matter readily available for bacterial use in pelagic ecosystems. Despite this fact, very little is known about use of dissolved carbohydrates by planktonic bacteria. We studied use of total dissolved carbohydrates (TDCHO) b
## Abstract The dynamics of planktonic rotifer in Laguna Ezquerra (Rio Negro, Argentina) was studied from October 1988 to March 1989, in relation to food resources and cladoceran populations. During the spring and summer period, total rotifer density differed markedly. In spring rotifer populations
Twenty species of planktonic rotifers were important in Lake Biel during 1978 . Eight species were present throughout the year, four species occurred only in spring and eight species in summer or autumn . Rotifer numbers attained two major maxima, one in May (19 .3 106 ind . m2) and one in August (1
The number and biomass of rotifers in large eutrophic lakes is small in winter, reaches a maximum in spring or summer and decreases to a winter minimum . The dynamics of rotifer participation as part of total zooplankton is opposite to their absolute number : the role of rotifers in zooplankton is g
