Résumé :	The taxonomic diversity of groundwater dwelling cyclopoid fauna (23 species, 10 hypogean and 13 epigean taxa) occurring within an area of about 0.8 km(2) of the Lobau, a Danube wetland at Vienna, is analysed using several metric scales. These data are compared with those of two other sites, Regelsbrunn and Deutsch-Wagram, located 16 km remote from the Lobau. Laboratory observations on selected cyclopoid species related to their search activity during the election of substrate and potential food items exemplifies aspects of the ecological diversity of groundwater cyclopoids occurring within the Danube wetlands. The origin and the "potential diversity" of the cyclopoids in the investigated area are discussed using statistical, ecological, biogeographic and evolutionary arguments.
