✦ Synopsis

Diversity and equitability of rotifer communities from billabongs (oxbows or cut-off meanders) in northern and southeastern Australia are compared . In both areas littoral taxa predominated in open water . Diversity values (Shannon-Wiener, H') were higher than recorded for tropical assemblages elsewhere . Up to 80 rotifer species co-occurred in Northern Territory billabongs . Brachionids notably were absent ; there was an apparent displacement of tropical assemblages into temperate Australia .
