Permafrost thaw lakes and ponds as habitats for abundant rotifer populations
Thermokarst lakes and ponds were sampled across a range of permafrost landscapes in subarctic QuĂŠbec (Nunavik, Canada), to compare their rotifer and other zooplankton characteristics with a set of rock-basin lakes and ponds in the region. A total of 24 rotifer species were identified, with an avera...
