Table of Contents:
  • Foreword
  • The influence of ỚSHomage to Santa RosaliaỚ<U+00fd> on aquatic ecology: a scientometric approach
  • Linking traits to species diversity and community structure in phytoplankton
  • Drivers of phytoplankton diversity in Lake Tanganyika
  • Rarity, ecological memory, rate of floral change in phytoplanktonỚ and the mystery of the Red Cock
  • Diversity and community biomass depend on dispersal and disturbance in microalgal communities
  • Influence of nutrients, submerged macrophytes and zooplankton grazing on phytoplankton biomass and diversity along a latitudinal gradient in Europe
  • Why are there so many kinds of planktonic consumers? The answer lies in the allometric diet breadth
  • Absence of predation eliminates coexistence: experience from the fishỚ<U+001c>zooplankton interface
  • On non-Eltonian methods of hunting Cladocera, or impacts of the introduction of planktivorous fish on zooplankton composition and clear-water phase occurrence in a Mediterranean reservoir
  • Out of Alaska: morphological diversity within the genus Eurytemora from its ancestral Alaskan range (Crustacea, Copepoda)
  • Does lake age affect zooplankton diversity in Mediterranean lakes and reservoirs? A case study from southern Italy
  • Homage to Hutchinson: does inter-annual climate variability affect zooplankton density and diversity?
  • Homage to the Virgin of Ecology, or why an aquatic insect unadapted to desiccation may maintain populations in very small, temporary Mediterranean streams
  • Winning the biodiversity arms race among freshwater gastropods: competition and coexistence through shell variability and predator avoidance
  • Stygobiotic crustacean species richness: a question of numbers, a matter of scale
  • Santa Rosalia, the icon of biodiversity.
