Vertical microzonation of ciliates in cryoconite holes in Ecology Glacier, King George Island
Abstract There are hardly any data concerning the vertical micro−distribution of protozoa in water column in cryoconite holes on the glacier surface. Such comparisons can provide in− sights into the ecology of protozoa. The present research wasmade on Ecology Glacier (South Shetland Islands, Antarct...
