As a result of the present study Paramecium biaurelia was found in the ponds of the Botanical Garden in Krakow. It was the only species from the aurelia complex present in the ponds. The finding confirms previous observations (KOMALA 1997, 1998 a,b) indicating that Paramecium biaurelia is a species which invades marginal habitats more easily than do the other species of the complex.

In 1977 the Babia Gora National Park (the BPN) was included by UNESCO in the list of the international network of the Biosphere Reserves that comprise the world's protected ecosystems.The investigation, which is being carried out in the area of the BPN, aims at finding and recording species of the zooplankton as well as the Paramecium aurelia species complex occurring in the lakes of Mt Babia Gora. The investigation was carried out in Mokry Stawek, one of the largest lakes in the area. This is a preliminary report. It reveals a significant acidity of the lake and that so far none of the examined species of the Paramecium aurelia complex have been found. However, some predominant zooplanktonic organisms were registered.

The present investigations are a continuation of the previous studies on the zooplanktonic organisms in the waters of the Babia G?ra massif and its buffer zone (Komala 1996, 1997a,b, 1998a). In particular, the lakes situated on its southern slope were studied at present from the point of view of the occurrence of the Paramecium aurelia species complex and other zooplankton. So far none of the investigated species of the complex have been found, however, some dominant zooplankton was registered.

The present investigation are a continuation of the previous studies on the zooplanktonic organisms in the waters of the enclave situated in the borderland of Sredni and Wyspowy Beskids (the Carpathians). In particular, the streams in the valley of the River Krzczonowka and the waters of the Krzczonowka itself were studied from the point of view of the occurrence of the Paramecium aurelia species complex and other zooplankton. Recently, the waters in the region have shown a significant acidity in comparison with pH values noted in the sixties. So far, none of the species of the aurelia complex have been found in the streams as well as in the river. However, some predominant zooplanktonic organisms were registered. Previously (Komala 1998d) P. biaurelia was found in the Bogdanowka stream which flows into Krzczonowka, the main river of the valley.

The aim of this study was to register the zooplanktonic organisms in water bodies in the Botanical Garden of the Jagiellonian University in Krak?w, especially from the point of view of the occurrence of species of the Paramecium aurelia complex. In one pond, artificially constructed, the presence of P. tetraurelia was revealed.

This preliminary report reveals a significant acidity of the lakes on the Babia Gora massif, and rather poor differentiation of the zooplanktonic organisms. So far none of the investigated species of the Paramecium aurelia complex have been found. However, some dominant zooplankton was registered in all six investigated lakes.

The presence of P. tetraurelia was found in the pond in ?The Palm-House? greenhouse.

The investigations were carried out in the borderland of the ?redni (Makowski) and Wyspowy Beskids (the Carpathians). In the River Bogdan?wka flowing out from the range of the Koskowe G?ry Mts (the Carpathians) Paramecium biaurelia was found. The results of the present work together with the previous data (KOMALA 1997, 1998) indicate that Paramecium biaurelia is more common in the investigated Carpathian region than other species of the aurelia complex. The results also indicate that this species is much more adaptive for acidic waters. Perhaps this ability makes the species capable of invading the marginal ecological niches more easily than is the case with other species of the group.

The investigations were carried out in the region of Rabka, a well-known health resort, situated in a valley between the ranges of the Wyspowy Beskid and Gorce Mts (The Carpathians), on the River Raba. The Poniczanka stream which is a tributary of the River Raba has recently undergone investigation. This is a stream in which the presence of a very rare species of the P. aurelia complex, i.e. Paramecium tetraurelia, was found in 1961 (DUBIS, unpublished data). The present study revealed a significant acidification of the stream and the absence of the Paramecium tetraurelia. Among the species of the genus Paramecium only Paramecium caudatum was found, this morphological species, composed of several genetic ones, seems to be less sensitive to acid waters.

The investigations were carried out in a valley on the border of the Wyspowy and Sredni (Makowski) Beskids (the Carpathians). Paramecium biaurelia was found in several streams flowing into the main river. Paramecium novaurelia was found in one habitat only. The obtained results indicate that P. biaurelia is far more typical of the examined region - than other species of the Paramecium aurelia complex occurring in the Carpathian chain. They also indicate that P. biaurelia is a pioneering species of the complex.

Seasonal and short-term variability of zooplankton taxonomic composition in the shallow coastal area of the Gulf of Gdansk was reconstructed from analyses of material collected at weekly intervals between March 1998 and March 1999, using a Kopenhagen net with a 50 ?m-mesh size. Water temperature was also measured during the investigations, which enabled precise monitoring of the seasonality in the area. The contribution of a particular species and its density varied seasonally and, in the majority of cases, even weekly. On the one hand, the diversity and instability of particular zooplankton components were observed; on the other hand, though, the long-term presence and domination of species commonly inhabiting the waters of the Gulf of Gdansk (Acartia spp.) were confirmed to be independent of environmental conditions, especially, temperature. Frequent plankton catches resulted in identification of periods of fast qualitative changes within zooplankton and precise definition of the time when a particular taxon occurs. The time of dominance in major taxonomic zooplankton groups lasted: Tintinnina - 17 weeks, Rotatoria - 9 weeks, Copepoda - 2 weeks. Cladocera never was a dominant taxon.

The present work reports a recent preliminary analysis of the zooplanktonic organisms in selected water bodies of the village Zubrzyca Gorna in the Orawa valley. As far as the genus Paramecium is concerned, Paramecium caudatum was found. No species of the Paramecium aurelia complex were recorded although in previous years Paramecium biaurelia and P. novaurelia were found in the Orawa valley waters. It seems that the absence of species of the aurelia complex in a given water body may be caused by an increase in the water acidity.

Paramecium caudatum and the predominant zooplanton organisms were registered in the studied pond of the Botanical Garden of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. The finding of Stentor coeruleus indicates an improvement in the environmental conditions in Krakow, connected with the partial liquidation of the huge steelworks.

The examined Lake Lubaskie Duze covering the area of 41.5 ha is a dimictic lake a mean depth of 12 m (max. depth 16 m). The systematic observations of phyto- and zooplankton changes together with the selected physico-chemical parameters of water which were carried out for this lake during 1991-1996 showed its mesotrophic character declining towards eutrophy . In 1996, the research was expanded to the analyses of the plankton dynamics in the zones of rushes and submerged vegetation. The purpose of this research was to examine qualitative and quantitative changes of plankton inhabiting various habitats. The samples were collected along the transect starting from rushes to the area of open water (pelagic zone). The sampling was performe at four stations: station 1 - zone of rushes, community of reed and cattail; station 2 - zone of open water area between stations 1 and 3; station 3 - zone of submerged vegetation, community of hornwort; station 4 - open water (pelagic zone). Taking into consideration the spatial distribution of plankton, the differences in the taxonomic groups inhabiting the zones along the transect were noted. In the zone of submerged vegetation, the higher species diversity and greater numbers of specimens were observed than in the zone of rushes.
