Phallocryptus spinosa (Thamnocephalidae) is a small primitive crustacean which lives in temporary saline pools of the Palaearctic region called Chott, Sebkha, Garâa or Daya in North Africa. Data on its biology and life history are very scarce despite its ecological importance in wetlands. Four po...
The lacustrine zooplankton of Chile is characterized by a low abundance of daphniid cladocerans and a predominance of calanoid copepods, thus making up a zooplankton community quite different from that described for North American lakes. To explain this pattern, this study investigates the role o...
River systems of Central Chile are short, steep and fast flowing. They are characterized by discharge regimes dominated by rainfall and snowmelt. Invertebrate fauna is highly endemic. This study aimed to describe the community structure of invertebrate in eight
river systems in Central Chile (33-...
Os sistemas fluviais do Chile central são curtos, íngremes e fluem rapidamente. Eles são caracterizados por regimes de descarga dominados por chuvas e neve derretida. A fauna de invertebrados desses sistemas fluviais é altamente endêmica. O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever a estrutura da...

Most of the mesosaline lakes in the semiarid central Pampas have a high anthropogenic influence. The aim was to determine the variation in limnological and zooplankton parameters of a mesosaline lake with little human impact, the West Lake of the Parque Luro Reserve during a year. Monthly samples...
La mayoría de los lagos mesosalinos en la Pampa central semiárida sufren alta influencia antrópica. El objetivo fue determinar la variación de los parámetros limnológicos y del zooplancton de un lago mesosalino con poco impacto humano, el lago Oeste de la Reserva Parque Luro a lo largo de un año....

La región de la Araucanía (38-39° S) se caracteriza por la presencia de humedales a lo largo de su territorio, los cuales son ecosistemas de gran importancia y con poco conocimiento respecto a su estructura y funcionamiento y sobre la fauna asociada a estos ambientes. El presente trabajo describe...

Los cuerpos de agua de Chile se caracterizan por la presencia de tramas tróficas sencillas (De los Ríos-Escalante, 2003) y un bajo número de especies zooplanctonicas, siendo dominante los copépodos calanoideos, específicamente los géneros Boeckella y Tumeodiaptomus, ocurriendo el proceso contrari...
The presence of the calanoid copepod Boeckella gracilis (Daday, 1902) in Chilean seasonal pools has been only poorly studied as yet. The aim of the present study thus is to investigate the role of conductivity and temperature on the relative and absolute abundance of B. gracilis in seasonal coast...

The lakes of Chiloé Island have a high dissolved organic carbon concentration (known as “humic”) and show a connection with brackish water. They also display a high species richness of crustacean zooplankton. The aim of the present study is to characterize the potential factors that explain crust...

The water bodies studied herein are located in the Huerquehue National Park, a mountain zone with Nothofagus alpina, N. pumilio, N. dombeyi, and Araucaria araucana forests, at 700-1500 m a. s. l. There are numerous oligotrophic lakes, with characteristics similar to the deep Araucanian lakes. Man...
