Notes
In ponds in the north and the south of Bavaria 17 species of sessile, tube-building Rotatoria were identified. Plants with finely divided leaves are the preferred substrate. The pH-value and the bicarbonate do not limit the range of any species. Mixed colonies were found. For 3 species taxonomic remarks are given. Studies of the tube-construction show interesting details about the correlation of detritus and tube-shape, especially for Floscularia ringens. A possibility of breeding Limnias ceratophylli and Floscularia ringens independent of ponds is demonstrated. Experiments on regeneration of Stephanoceros fimbriatus and Floscularia ringes were successful.
