The development of the periphytic algae and macrofauna was examined in two fish ponds. 43 genera of algae (mainly diatoms) were found on the substrates, and the maximum of algae was reached on the 10th day. The periphytic macrofauna consisted of 37 taxonomical groups (mainly Chironomidae). Larvae of
Experimental ponds were used as a model system of habitat patches to study the effect of habitat size on the relative growth performance of tadpoles of Bufo americanus and Pseudacris triseriata, and on colonization by predatory insects. Three pond depths and surface areas were habitat size treatment
## Abstract Experiments on the grazing of the ciliate __Colpoda steinii__ on the blueβgreen alga __Anacystis nidulans__ showed, among other things, that declines of the algal population initiated by grazing often continued for several days after grazing pressure had been released. In addition, long
