Abstract
Information on the distribution of 59 dicranophorid rotifers from dive rse habitats in south and central Sweden was analyzed to reveal their relationships to their substrate. They were mainly frequenting macroph ytic vegetation. Even some species which have previously been regarded as 'psammobionts' were mostly or only found on periphytic substrates. Like other raptorial predators, dicranophorids have a very broad ecol ogical range.
