Urbanization has changed the distribution pattern of zooplankton species diversity and the structure of functional groups

Urbanization has brought devastating disasters to the species diversity of urban wetlands. However, due to the complexity of the urban environment, the process and causes of urban biodiversity distribution patterns are not clear. In this study, we explored the patterns and formation of spatial diffe...
