Description:
Keratella tecta is often considered an infrasubspecific variant of a polymorphic species. It is commonly observed in lakes and ponds with a range of nutrient levels, from eutrophic to polytrophic. Its identification primarily relies on characteristics of the lorica, particularly variations in caudal spine length and the fine structure of the dorsal lorica, which have been demonstrated to adapt in accordance with environmental factors.
