Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) as bioindicators of environmental pressure: A karstic river case

Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora) as bioindicators of environmental pressure: A karstic river case

Ciliates are single celled eukaryotes recognized as key players in the microbial loop of aquatic ecosystems. The present study was carried out on the Krka River (Croatia), a karst freshwater ecosystem characterized by tufa barriers, biomineralization and highly diverse aquatic communities. The main...
