Notes

32 ephemeral dune ponds were studied at the end of January 1990. 34 rotifer species were identified. The distribution of only a few species was related to salinity, suspended matter, chlorophyll-a and total water protein concentrations. However, most of the species seem to be better related to colonization possibilities than to the environmental characteristics of the ponds.
