About the Book

This volume reports on the findings of experts on tropical zooplankton gathered at a meeting in Kariba, Zimbabwe, in 1991. Some basic questions were asked on community composition and biodiversity in the tropics versus the non-tropics. Old ideas on the nature of zooplankton, which were found to be wider than the `classical' rotifers, cladocerans and copepods, as well as on the number of species in tropical waters, are now beginning to break down accordingly as more and more blank spots in the tropics are explored and as more in-depth studies on the zooplankton of tropical lakes are becoming available.
This volume contains a mix of papers discussing the two alternative controls (bottom-up and top-down) of zooplankton community structure and these constitute another step towards a coherent theory of tropical ecosystem theory.

Factors determining biogeography and distribution.- The distribution and ecology of the fresh- and brackish-water medusae of the world.- The temperate-tropical gradient of planktonic Protozoa and Rotifera.- On the diversity of the Cladocera in the tropics.- Cladocera of coastal rivers of western Nigeria.- Distribution patterns of the Diaptomidae (Calanoida: Copepoda) in southern Africa.- Temperature-related distributions of Metadiaptomus and Tropodiaptomus (Copepoda: Calanoida), particularly in southern Africa.- Rotifers of Benin River, Nigeria.- Salinity and the distribution of rotifers in the Lagos Harbour — Badagry Creek system, Nigeria.- Zooplankton, fish and fisheries in tropical freshwaters.- II.
