Building a Worldwide Freshwater Zooplankton Dataset to Synthesize Patterns of Zooplankton Community Structure and Change

Abstract

The Zooplankton as Indicators Group (ZIG) was formed at the Global Lake Ecological Observa- tory Network (GLEON) “all-hands” meeting in November 2019 in Huntsville, Canada. At the meeting, a small group brainstormed several research ideas related to using zooplankton communities as indicators of ecological change in lakes and reservoirs worldwide.
