An evaluation of crustacean and rotifer diversity and composition in a temporary pond metacommunity: Comparing results from field samples and a hatching experiment
Abstract Many aquatic invertebrates that inhabit temporary ponds produce resting forms to overcome the dry period, building up the egg bank. When the wet phase returns, the resting forms hatch and the community is restored, and then pioneer species may have a major influence on how the pond communit...

Abstract Many aquatic invertebrates that inhabit temporary ponds produce resting forms to overcome the dry period, building up the egg bank.
