摘要

a Location of the sampling region in Austria. b Geographic location of the sampled lakes in the national park “Neusiedler See-Seewinkel”, Burgenland, Austria. The lakes are shown in white with the corresponding identifier abbreviations (AS Albersee, MS Mittlerer Stinker-See, OS Oberer Stinker, OH Obere Höll-Lacke, KS Krautingsee, WW Westliche Wörthenlacke, OEW Östliche Wörthenlacke, LL Lange Lacke, ML Südliche Martinhoflacke).
