Notes
Rotifers from periphyton communities of rivers in the Karst area of western Yugoslavia were examined. Thirty-two species, belonging to 10 families, were found. Rotifers were absent from locations without periphyton. Low densities of animals were noted at stations near urban centres and in the estuaries of the Mirna, Rasa, Rjecina and Krka rivers. Several species were found in all of the rivers studied, but always in low numbers. Most of these species are generally considered to be euryvalent and cosmopolitan.
