Covering the key issues of limnology, this book's structure and underlying concepts conform to ecology. Beginning with chapters on the link between ecology and evolution, and the methodology of eco-research, it goes on to introduce the physico-chemical properties of freshwater habitats.
In this paper the results of the conference „The Role of Food Limitation in Structuring Zooplankton Communities“, held at Plön (Western Germany) in July 1984, are presented. The main topics of this symposium were zooplankton communities and the interactions of food limitation and predation.
