Notes

Information on the distribution of 225 species of planktonic, periphytic and benthic rotifers from diverse waters in south and central Sweden was analyzed for temperature preference and tolerance. Most rotifers have a very wide tolerance range. Certainly differences in temperature dependence exist between separate species. However, these differences are, in a regional material lake this, generally less distinct than what has been found the distribution within individual lakes.
