Abstract:Studies on Cladocera biodiversity in Brazilian freshwater ecosystems are intensifying. However, the fauna of some hydrographic regions is still poorly known. We investigated the richness and species composition of cladocerans in lakes of the Pantanal from the state of Mato Grosso (Paraguay hydrographic region), Brazil. In addition, we cataloged the known cladoceran species in each hydrographic region of the state. Occurrence data were obtained from the literature and samples collected from 50 lakes in the nort… Show more
“…Brazilian freshwaters are renowned for their high taxonomic, genetic, functional, and ecological biodiversity (Agostinho et al 2005;Brito et al 2020;Martins et al 2020;Dias-Silva et al 2021). For example, more than 3 000 species of freshwater fish have been described (ICMBio 2018).…”
