Abstract

This is a notice of retraction of the article: Seasonal succession of crustacean zooplankton in Wular lake of the Kashmir Himalaya, published in the Archives of Biological Sciences in 2013, Vol. 65, Issue 3. The Editor-in-Chief has been informed of different degrees of scholarly misconduct in figures and tables presented in this article. After inspection, the following issues were revealed: 1) Table 2 contains a subset of the results described in Table 2 in previously published papers, respectively: I. Shah J A, Pandit A K. Relation between physico-chemical limnology and crustacean community in Wular Lake of Kashmir Himalaya. Pak J Biol Sci. 2013;16(19):976-83. DOI:10.3923/pjbs.2013.976.983 II. Shah J A, Pandit A K.

DOI:10.5897/JENE12.100 2) Tables 2 and 3 are examples of duplication of data presented in the previously published paper: Shah J A, Pandit A K. Relation between physico-chemical limnology and crustacean community in Wular Lake of Kashmir Himalaya. Pak J Biol Sci. 2013;16(19):976-83. DOI:10.3923/pjbs.2013.976.983 3) Table 3 is a rearranged presentation of a subset of data presented in Table 2 of the previously published paper: Shah J A, Pandit A K. Diversity and abundance of cladoceran zooplankton in Wular Lake, Kashmir Himalaya. Res J Environ Earth Sci. 2013;5(7):410-7. e-ISSN: 2041-0492 After confirmation of these claims, the Editor-in-Chief of the Archives of Biological Sciences has decided to retract the paper immediately. <br><br><font color="red"><b> Link to the retracted article <u><a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.2298/ABS1303063B">10.2298/ABS1303063B</a></b></u>
