Title: Epiphytic macrofauna on water soldiers (Stratiotes aloides L.) in Słupia River oxbows
Authors: Obolewski Krystian
Abstract: The taxonomic composition and biomass of phytophilous macrofauna dwelling on water soldiers in two Słupia River oxbows, Koński Staw (KS) and Osokowy Staw (OS), were determined in two periods (April 1 - July 23, 1981; April 20 - July 20, 2001). The KS water soldier macrofauna studied in the 1980s was comprised of 22 invertebrate taxa, while 25 to 28 taxa were recorded in 2001. The macrofauna of the two periods was dominated by gastropods and mining chironomid larvae (1981) and hirudineans (2001). The OS macrofauna studied in the springsummer of 2001 consisted of 25 taxa. The OS macrofauna was dominated in both periods by gastropods, and trichopterans were the subdominants.
