Microhabitat preferences in springs, as shown by a survey of nematode communities of Trentino (south-eastern Alps, Italy)

Ninety-four Alpine springs in Trentino, from 170 to 2792 m a.s.l., were studied and compared for their nematode communities. No nematode species appeared typical for Alpine springs (crenobionts or crenophiles); all the identified species were common in freshwater habitats, with a wide geographical r...
