Artificially increased abundance of the large larvae of T. plumosus was not in general maintained - it fell to a level only slightly higher (or even lower) than in the lakce. These facts, evidence of the strong interaction of the benthos organisms, took place even when the abundance of the benthos was relatively small. The reduction in numbers taking place is not however evidence that more numerous fauna cannot live in this habitat, since in many cases a spontaneous growth in numbers of T. plumosus and also of other species was found. It is, however, probably only possible as a result of the gradual changes in conditions taking place in the cage during the duration of the experiment.}, type={Text}, title={The effect of experimentally induced variations in the abundance of Tendipes plumosus L. larvae on intraspecific and interspecific relations}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/69036/PDF/WA058_85982_P2840-T11_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-15.pdf}, volume={11}, number={15}, journal={Ekologia Polska.
