Direct observations on living animals, examination of gut contents, spatio-temporal distribution analysis, demographic data and a two year comparative study of zooplankton population dynamics illustrate the importance of invertebrate predation on the seasonal succession of the zooplankton in Lake Ay
## Abstract We studied the structure and population dynamics of zooplankton assemblages in the water bodies (euβ, paraβ, plesiopotamal and conjunctive water bodies) of a temperate floodplain during flood events. Here we report differences in the species composition of these water bodies in the two
Flood intensity was a main factor determining access to the riparian/floodplain ecotonal resources of the upper Parana River, Brazil, and in consequence determining yield of the dominant trophic groups, which are fish feeding on flooded grasslands and on riparian fruits and leaves . Prey and predato
