Short-time spatio-temporal variations of planktonic ciliates in a eutrophic lake were
examined for evidence of diel vertical migration in relation to food supply (bacteria …

Seasonal population dynamics and community composition of planktonic ciliates were
studied for over a decade in a naturally eutrophic shallow lake, Lake Võrtsjärv, which has a …

From 1987 to 1998, ciliates and their prey and predator communities in Lake Constance
(which is large, deep and meso-eutrophic) were intensively studied as the lake underwent re …

The density and biomass of planktonic ciliates significantly differed between sample sites in
a deep, mesotrophic lake, with the lowest numbers in the hypolimnion and the highest in the …

A mesocosm experiment in 24 enclosures (6 m 3) started at the end of June 1996 in a highly
eutrophic shallow lake, Lake Köyliönjärvi (SW Finland). The original factorial design with …

Seasonal population dynamics and the vertical distribution of ciliates were studied in
relation to the particular food resources occurring in a humic and moderately acidic lake …

We followed the changes in the protist assemblage over an annual cycle at 3 sites and
different depths of Traunsee in the Austrian Alps and quantified the variability of the ciliate …

Temperate shallow meso-to eutrophic lakes can exist in one of two alternative states with
contrasting foodwebs, referred to as the clear-water and the turbid state. We describe the …

The taxonomic composition of the ciliate assemblage and their taxon‐specific bacterial
grazing rates in Lake Constance were investigated over the course of one year. Bacterial …

Knowledge about the role of protozoans in planktonic communities is scarce and there is
little research on the temporal succession of planktonic ciliates in freshwater ecosystems …
