The Alpine Gistova (Mount Gramos, Albania-Greece border) biodiversity of an isolated microcosm
EnThe zooplankton composition of the lake Gistova has been studied for the first time. The lake is a small, permanent water body, of glacial origin, at 2365 m above the sea level on mount Gramos on the border between Albania and Greece. The lake has been visited 5 times over 4 years, during the ice/...
