Means values with different superscripts indicate significant differences (LSD test, p < 0.05) between interactions within a taxa group (Chironomidae and Oligochaeta).

Ponds: POD = Podsilniční, SNE = Šnekl, NEU = Neuteich, LANG = Langerteich, GEB = Gebhartsteich, HAS = Haslauerteich, PAN − Pančár, SKA − Skaličný; Habitat: LM = littoral macrophyte area, MF = macrophyte-free area. Management: CO = conventional, ORG = organic; Substrate: MU = muddy, SA = sandy.
