Fauna associated with macrophytes showed low species richness (range 8–11 taxa dependently on site and season) usually observed in lakes of high water trophy. Densities of fauna were high (mean 71–5250 ind. 100 g DW-1), typical for shallow lakes with well developed submerged vegetation. In the domination structure prevailed Gastropoda (relative abundance 23–100%) and Chironomidae (relative abundance 8–87%). Re-dundancy analysis showed the significance of four environmental variables – temperature, dis-solved oxygen, Ptot and P-PO4 as determinants of abundance of epiphytic fauna.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Influence of habitat conditions on the occurrence of epiphytic invertebrate fauna in oxbow lakes}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/107234/PDF-MASTER/13_Tarkowska-Kukuryk.pdf}, keywords={oxbow lakes, environmental conditions, macrophytes, epiphytic fauna}, }
