Vegetated shallows as drivers of macroinvertebrate diversity in a tropical high mountain Ramsar lake (Lago Menor, Lake Titicaca)
, , , and
Vegetated shallow habitats strongly influenced macroinvertebrate diversity in Lago Menor, Lake Titicaca. Depth, macrophyte biomass, and seasonal hydrology shaped community structure. These findings improve understanding of biodiversity patterns in high-altitude tropical freshwater ecosystems.
