“…that tolerate a wide range of environmental parameters and were often reported to be components of artificial, post-mining waters 1,36,49–52 . Note that the concentrations of suspension did not fluctuate enough among the reservoirs to elicit environmental stress, which is important factor for the zooplankton to generate appropriate adaptive mechanisms 37,46 .…”

“…The turbidity parameter, expressed in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU), was used to interpret water suspension loads 6,37,47,54,55 . In most of the reservoirs under study, the NTU was found 2–3 times higher than the concentration suspensions (mg L −1 ), while in natural waters, either the inverse proportion between these parameters or a ratio close to 1 is usually observed 46 .…”

“…These bioindicative traits include: wide distribution in different aquatic ecosystems, significance in nutrient and energy cycling, short life cycles, adaptation to environmental changes, and sensitivity to sudden environmental disturbances (pollution, water flow and level, thermal conditions, salinity, acidification, etc.) 32–37 . Alternative approach makes use of functional traits of the zooplankton (behavioral and morphological diversities related to feeding strategy).…”

Water from mining drainage is turbid because of suspensions. We tested the hypothesis that the chemical composition as well as shape and size of particles in suspensions of natural origin affect the density and functional diversity of zooplankton. The suspensions were analyzed with atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical microscopy. Elements found in the beidellite clays were also identified in the mineral structure of the particles. As the size of the microparticles decreased, the weight proportions of phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine increased in the suspensions. These conditions facilitated the biomass growth of large and small microphages and raptorials. As the size of the nanoparticles decreased, the shares of silicon, aluminum, iron, and magnesium increased. These conditions inhibited raptorials the most. Ecosystem functionality was the highest with intermediate suspension parameters, which were at the lower range of the microphase and the upper range of the nanophase. The functional traits of zooplankton demonstrate their potential for use as sensitive indicators of disruptions in aquatic ecosystems that are linked with the presence of suspensions, and they facilitate gaining an understanding of the causes and scales of the impact of suspensions.

“…Among zooplankton control factors, current velocity, discharge, and water residence time are of greater importance in riverine ecosystems (Basu & Pick, 1996; Pace et al, 1992; Zhao et al, 2018). For instance, water residence time increases with increasing river length, and there is often a trend for plankton to be more abundant downstream (Reckendorfer et al, 1999).…”

The study of beta diversity patterns, as well as their underlying mechanisms, is fundamental for the understanding of community structure in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we aimed to investigate patterns of beta diversity in cladoceran, copepod, and rotifer assemblages in the Parnaíba and Poti rivers, along the urban perimeter of the city of Teresina (Piaui, Brazil) and to evaluate the effect of environmental, spatial, and temporal factors on beta diversity in the zooplankton assemblages. We used the Simplex analysis to represent the relative importance of replacement and abundance difference to beta diversity. The decomposition of beta diversity into its components was performed using the Ruzicka dissimilarity index, for abundance data. Distance‐based Redundancy Analyses and variation partitioning were used to explore the relations between explanatory variables and beta diversity and its components. We found that beta diversity was high both spatially and temporally, and the abundance difference component showed greater relative importance than the replacement component. Environmental factors showed a greater contribution to the total explained variability in beta diversity and abundance difference, while replacement received most importance of temporal and spatial variables. Our study provides new insights on how environmental, spatial, and temporal factors shape beta diversity patterns in zooplankton assemblages in impacted aquatic ecosystems.

“…Some species may allow natural ecosystem to function in a healthy manner (Jeelani et al, 2008). Zooplankton establishes linkage within food webs and provides food to higher trophic consumers and also having a major role in energy transfer (Capriulo et al, 2002;Turner, 2004;Sotton et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2017). Zooplanktons are microscopic animals which do not possess the power of locomotion and move along the water currents.…”

The present investigation was an attempt to study the zooplankton community of Sathanur reservoir of Thiruvannamalai, Tamilnadu, India. The zooplankton species composition was studied for a period of one year from October 2018 to September 2019 on monthly interval basis. As a result of study, 24 zooplankton species were identified, out of which 9 were Rotifers, 7 Cladocerans, 5 Copepods and 3 Ostracodans. The overall population density of zooplankton was found maximum during the summer season and mininmum during monsoon. They play a supportive role in fish culture by recycling of nutrients and increase the soil fertility and involve in energy transfer between phytoplankton and fishes.
