Heteroptera structure observed in studied reservoirs was clearly differen-tiated, which refers to age of the ponds. Newly created water reservoirs become quickly colonized mainly by pioneering species Corixinae, which led to formation of taxonomic group population of density exceeding 2700 indiv. m-2. In older reservoirs there were fish, which potential predation pressure led to almost a complete decline of bugs. The reason of bugs poverty in water reservoirs colonized by fish was also probably a small habitat diversity, leading to lack of refuges from predators.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Colonization of new created anthropogenic small ponds by water bugs}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/107228/PDF/7_Plaska.pdf}, keywords={water bugs, small water reservoirs, colonization, predation pressure}, }
