Composition and structure of macroinvertebrate communities of lakes in different altitudinal zones of Russian Altai
In 2002-2020, the composition and structure of benthic invertebrate communities from 36 lakes of the Russian Altai located at various (low, mid and high) altitudes were studied. Low-mountain and lowland lakes have a similar zoobenthos structure. With height, the taxonomic structure becomes more comp...
