Seasonal variation in the abundance and demographic characteristics of freshwater cladoceran species

The files provide data on variation in population density and demographic characteristics of freshwater pelagic cladoceran species: Bosmina longirostris, Ceriodaphnia pulchella, Diaphanosoma brachyurum (Sterlyazhii Pond, 55°41'53" N; 36°43'52"E , Russian Federation). The second dataset provides similar data for Daphnia catawba (inhabiting Lake Lacawac, the U.S.) estimated based on original paper by Tessier (1986), as well data on population density dynamics of the second pelagic cladoceran Holopedium gibberum inhabiting the same lake.
