Abstract
    Daily sampling revealed that the number of colonizers increases with time and that flagellates make up the major portion of the early pioneer community becoming established in 2-3 days and reaching equilibrium much earlier than other taxonomic groups. Additional data indicate the flagellate component having reached equilibrium remains relatively stable during seasonal changes for as long as 2 yr. A list of most common summer pioneer and persistent flagellates in 2 kinds of ecosystems is given.
