“…Biotic interactions with fish within the food web may be more pronounced in structuring Cladocera communities, as demonstrated by Davidson et al (2007). However no predator communities of fish (or of other invertebrates, such as Chaoborus larvae) have been identified from these oxbow deposits during these times.…”

“…We had difficulty separating species of Daphnia based solely on postabdominal claws morphology. Most daphnid remains were divided into two broad groups as has been done in other investigations (Davidson et al 2007;Sweetman et al 2010). Remains containing teeth of middle pecten of the postabdominal claws that were significantly larger than teeth of proximal or distal pecten were classified as Daphnia pulex complex, whereas remains with teeth of middle pecten of similar size to the proximal and distal pectens were classified as D. longispina complex.…”

“…Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) are a key component of aquatic ecosystems; their community structure reflects a combination of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the ecosystem they inhabit (Davidson et al 2007). Their chitinous exoskeletal components (shell, head shield, postabdomen, postabdominal claws, antennal segments and mandibles) are usually well preserved in sediments and most are identifiable to the species level (Korhola and Rautio 2001).…”

Subfossil Cladocera were sampled and examined from the surface sediments of 35 thermokarst lakes along a temperature gradient crossing the tree line in the Anabar-river basin in northwestern Yakutia, northeastern Siberia. The lakes were distributed through three environmental zones: typical tundra, southern tundra and forest tundra. All lakes were situated within the continuous permafrost zone. Our investigation showed that the cladoceran communities in the lakes of the Anabar region are diverse and abundant, as reflected by taxonomic richness, and high diversity and evenness indices (H = 1.89 ± 0.51; I = 0.8 ± 0.18). CONISS cluster analysis indicated that the cladoceran communities in the three ecological zones (typical tundra, southern tundra and forest-tundra) differed in their taxonomic composition and structure. Differences in the cladoceran assemblages were related to limnological features and geographical position, vegetation type, climate and water chemistry. The constrained redundancy analysis indicated that T July , water depth and both sulphate (SO 4 2-) and silica (Si 4? ) concentrations significantly (p B 0.05) explained variance in the cladoceran assemblage. T July featured the highest percentage (17.4 %) of explained variance in the distribution of subfossil Cladocera. One of the most significant changes in the structure of the cladoceran communities in the investigated transect was the replacement of closely related species along the latitudinal and vegetation gradient. The results demonstrate the potential for a regional cladoceran-based temperature model for the Arctic regions of Russia, and for and Yakutia in particular.

“…They have been used to track changes in climate (Korhola et al 2005), acidification (Nilssen & Sandoy 1990), fish predation (Amsinck et al 2006;Davidson et al 2006), phosphorus levels (Bos & Cumming 2003), and salinity (Bos et al 1999). Typically, paleolimnological inferences are based on cladoceran species assemblages.…”
