            • Upravo taj ekoton na graničnom području između močvare i krških oblika daje poseban pečat ovom kraju. Ovaj ekoton na granici kopna i vode je biotop velike bioproduktivnosti te omogućuje veliku raznolikost kao posljedicu trofičkog bogatstva staništa. - http://vransko-jezero.hr/cms/index.php by Veronica Prpic Uhing
            • NAZIV KOLEGIJA: Ekologija beskralješnjaka vodenih ekotona Osnovni cilj kolegija je stjecanje bazičnih znanja o vodenim ekotonima kao značajnim prijelaznim sustavima. Cilj kolegija bazira se na usvajanju znanja o obilježjima zajednica i interakcijama podzemnih i nadzemnih vodenih staništa na području kontakta dva ekosustava, te raznolikosti vrsta. Tome će pridonijeti stjecanje teorijskih znanja i općih principa i koncepcija ekologije životinja u različitim vodenim ekotonskim sustavima. - http://www.biol.pmf.hr/ by Veronica Prpic Uhing
            • Izvorišta imaju obilježja ekotona; uz nadzemne vodene potočne vrste npr. pužića Ancylus fluviatilis i ribe peša (Cottus gobio) i pijora Phoxinus phoxinus) u njima se susreću razne podzemne vrste, npr. predstavnici rakušaca roda Niphargus. Mnogim su takvim staništima svojstveni često usko rasprostranjeni endemični izvorski pužići iz skupine Hydrobiidae, izvorski rakušci rodova Fontogammarus i izvorski tulari roda Drusus. - http://www.dzzp.hr/ by Veronica Prpic Uhing

          • Definition(s)
            • a narrow and fairly sharply defined transition zone between two or more communities (Allaby 1998); eg the different plankton communities that occur on opposite sides of fronts. A Glossary of Marine Nature Conservation and Fisheries
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Macroinvertebrate biomass was highest at an intermediate riparian ecotone complexity with an adequate supply of organic matter and incident light. Fish biomass followed the same trend, being lowest in heavily shaded areas and in open channels without riparian vegetation (range: 1-4.5 g m-2), but highest in ecotones of intermediate complexity (range: 1.6-92.8 g m-2). The cascading effect of invertebrate density depletion, which was inversely related to fish biomass, was observed seasonally. - Wiley InterScience
            • The complexity and biological importance of riparian ecotones depend on the extent to which the system is self-regulating, which depends in turn on geology, physiography, climate, vegetation, human activity and the age of the system. - Fish and riparian ecotones – a hypothesis
            • A common example of ecotones is estuaries—the transitional area between rivers and the oceans. The variety of species found in an estuary is much higher than in the river or in the shallow sea-water. - BASICS OF ECOLOGY & LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS
