Add to ORKGBenthic communities in floodplain lake ecosystems are often exposed to varying levels of both food and toxicants. Inhibition through toxicants of sensitive species and stimulation through increased amounts of food of opportunistic species have been observed in separate studies. The aim of this study was therefore to assess the responses of benthic invertebrates to combined food and contamination input. Hence, seven floodplain lakes located along the River Waal, The Netherlands, with different levels of food (being either phytoplankton or macrophyte dominated) and toxicants were selected. The responses of the sensitive mayfly Ephoron virgo and the opportunistic midge Chironomus riparius to these sediments were assessed in 10-d growth bioassa...
