| Title | Littoral and limnetic zooplankton communities in Lake Mead, Nevada-Arizona, USA |
| Creator | Sollberger, Patrick J. Paulson, Larry J. |
| Description | Zooplankton were collected from adjacent littoral and limnetic sites in Lake Mead, Nevada-Arizona, USA. Limnetic species dominated both littoral and limnetic zooplankton communities; littoral species rarely exceeded 2% of monthly total zooplankton densities. Low species richness of littoral taxa and high similarity in species composition between littoral and limnetic habitats appeared to result from uniform horizontal physical and chemical environments, due to horizontal mixing, and from the... |
