Data from 66 North American lakes were collected to construct a model for predicting the number of crustacean zooplankton species expected in a lake. The chosen lakes have a range from 4 sq m to 80 x 10**9 sq m surface area, range from ultra-oligotrophic to hypereutrophic, and have zooplankton speci...
