Abstract:Aim We aimed to verify the contribution of cladocerans’ resting eggs to the active communities of temporary lagoons and, through an experiment, identify which conditions induce high hatching rates. Methods Cladocera assemblages were sampled in four temporary lagoons in the Turvo River floodplain (20° 22’S and 49° 16’W), in the northwest region of São Paulo State, Brazil. Sediment samples were taken during the dry season from a depth of 5 cm, using a 4.5 cm diameter corer. Plankton samples were taken from the … Show more
