Information about the trophic structure and species composition of alpine lake ecosystems over space and time should therefore give important insights into environmental change effects. To explore the sensitivity of the faunal communities to environmental variability at local and regional scales we sampled biological and environmental variables from alpine lakes in seven different alpine lake districts in six European mountain regions. The fauna of the lakes was mainly composed of oligotrophic/ultraoligotrophic species, predominantly chironomids which made up more than 60% of all individuals. Species accumulation curves were used to explore patterns of species turnover and distribution, and the results indicated strong patterns in species diversity and also environmentally driven patterns in species distributions among lake districts. We used ordination analyses to explore these patterns in more detail. The results showed that the overriding patterns in faunal assemblages were found between the lake districts. Lake-water chemistry appeared to be the major driver of the faunal assemblages at this scale, but altitude and geography could also account for significant fractions of the variability. In addition to these broadscale patterns, repeatable trends in the faunal assemblages could be found in the faunal assemblages within lake districts. At this scale, the strongest compositional trends were found along the altitudinal gradient, but the faunal communities also responded to within- district variability in lake-water chemistry. Lake size or maximum depth did not appear to have any statistically significant effect on the littoral faunal assemblages at either scale Public work category ABC No. of Archival Copy 16623 Repercussion category KUBOVČÍK, Vladimír.
