Abstract
Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the distributional patterns of nematodes in lakes, rivers, and streams worldwide and of the factors that affect the structuring of nematode communities in the field. Drivers of variability in species composition such as habitat texture, flow rate, temperature, water chemistry, oxygen, vertical distribution of nematodes in the sediment, water depth in lakes, microphytobenthos, macrophytes, heterotrophic microbes, interspecific competition, and predation, are discussed.
