We report the results of a faunistic survey of bdelloid rotifers in the Massane forest reserve, France, covering 47 samples from aquatic and limno-terrestrial habitats. In total, 41 species were found, of which 22 represented new records for continental France. All species are widespread and their occurrence in the various habitats follows what was already known for them. No differences were found in species richness for each sample between aquatic and limno-terrestrial habitats, but community composition was significantly different between the two habitats, with no species found in both aquatic and limno-terrestrial habitats.

Abstract
We report the results of a faunistic survey of bdelloid rotifers in the Massane forest reserve, France, covering 47 samples from aquatic and limno-terrestrial habitats. In total, 41 species were found, of which 22 represented new records for continental France. All species are widespread and their occurrence in the various habitats follows what was already known for them. No differences were found in species richness for each sample between aquatic and limno-terrestrial habitats, but community composition was significantly different between the two habitats, with no species found in both aquatic and limno-terrestrial habitats.File in questo prodotto:
