Colonization and Succession of Zooplankton After a Drought: Influence of Hydrology and Free-Floating Plant Dynamics in a Floodplain Lake

We analyzed zooplankton colonization and succession following a temporary drought in a vegetated lake from a floodplain wetland of the Lower Paraná River (Argentina). We took samples of zooplankton and phytoplankton at four habitats of the lake characterized by the presence-absence of emergent or fr...

description We analyzed zooplankton colonization and succession following a temporary drought in a vegetated lake from a floodplain wetland of the Lower Paraná River (Argentina). We took samples of zooplankton and phytoplankton at four habitats of the lake characterized by the presence-absence of emergent or free-floating macrophytes along a 18-month period after the drought. Microzooplankton dominated along the study and macrozooplankton showed seasonal increments in cold seasons. Temporal patterns of broad taxonomic zooplankton groups were associated to hydrology-driven factors, like changes in water depth, conductivity and edible phytoplankton and seasonal changes and not related with free-floating plants. Nevertheless, spatial and temporal patterns of species composition were closely linked to the dynamics of free-floating plants. A clear shift from pelagic to littoral zooplankton taxa was registered when free-floating plants colonized. This study expands the knowledge on the composition and dynamics of zooplankton from floodplain lakes after the disturbance caused by a severe drought.
