✦ Synopsis

Data on the pelagic rotifer fauna in 10 Estonian lakes accumulated for 20 years, as well as published data are analysed . It is possible to distinguish three main indicator groups among rotifers : (1) for oligo-and mesotrophic lakes (Ploesoma hudsoni, Keratella serrulata, Synchaeta grandis, Asplanchna herricki, Ascomorpha ovalis, Gastropus stylifer, Conochilus hippocrepsis) ; (2) for meso-and eutrophic lakes (Trichocerca capucina, Filinia longiseta, F. limnetica, Keratella quadrata, K. cochlearis tecta, K.c . hispida, Polyarthra euryptera, Keratella hiemalis, Trichocerca porcellus, T . pusilla); (3) for eutrophic lakes (Brachionus spp .,

Lake sediments contain viable allochthonous bacteria that can be cultured and used for palaeoecological studies. To be a good palaeoindicator, a bacterium must be able to survive in sediments for long periods of time, but also be unable to reproduce in the lake bottom. Bacteria can survive the unfav

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 . herri
