Abstract:
The general aim of this study was to explore the effects of shoreline modifications on the
structure of littoral macroinvertebrate assemblages in lakes, across the gradients of
nutrients and alkalinity concentrations. Following this general aim, several aspects of the
topic were investigated. The first aim was to establish whether shoreline habitat
characteristics influence the composition of littoral macroinvertebrate assemblages. For
this purpose, characteristics of shoreline habitats were recorded using the Lake Habitat
Survey and associated with the assemblages at each site across six studied lakes. The
relevance of specific shoreline features in structuring the macroinvertebrate composition
was estimated.
