Abstract

A total of 25 species of Turbellaria from four orders (Catenulida, Macrostomida, Lecithoepitheliata, Tricladida, and Neorhabdocoela) have been identified in the fauna of a small water body. The structure and functioning of the Turbellaria community are studied. The dynamics of the abundance and biomass of flatworms during the spring–autumn period is traced. The structure and dynamics of the development of the Turbellaria community have changed when compared to those of more than 40 years ago.
