The sediment of Lake Balaton (Hungary) provides important information about the lake's history, particularly with regard to eutrophication. In this study, we used fossil pigment analysis and subfossil Cladocera remains preserved in a dated sediment core to identify trophic stages from *250 BC to present. Dates of the most recent eutrophic events are in good agreement with previously published data. In general, the abundance and diversity of the Cladocera community increased with eutrophication and decreased with oligotrophication. The sediments of Lake Balaton were characterised by Chydoridae remains, of which Alona species were the most abundant. Of these, Alona quadrangularis and Alona affinis accounted for 40 and 20% of the total Cladocera remains, respectively.

“…The slight increase in TOC together with a rise in the number of remains and the presence of B. longirostris in the upper part of both sequences also suggest an increase in lake productivity. B. longirostris is a common species in lakes from Central and Northern Europe (Mason & Abdulhussein, 1991;Jeppesen et al, 2003;Galbarcyk-Gasiorowska et al, 2009;Ahlen et al, 2011), whereas in the Iberian Peninsula it is typically found in reservoirs (Alonso, 1996); however, it has not generally been found in karstic lakes (Cuenca lakes: Boronat et al, 2001;Banyoles Lake: Miracle, 1974;Armengol & Miracle, 1999). Therefore, it is presumed that B. longirostris was not found in El Tobar until its connection with Reservoir La Tosca.…”

Cladoceran assemblages in a karstic lake as indicators of hydrological alterations

2011

The anthropogenic impact on wetlands has increased during the last centuries when infrastructures such as canals or dams, have proliferated. In this article, we have used cladoceran sub-fossils to investigate the effects of a canal on lake El Tobar (Spain). The canal has been transferring water from a reservoir, built in another valley, into this lake since its construction in the mid1960s. Cladoceran remains were analyzed in two sediment profiles from each of the two sub-basins of the lake. The sedimentary sequences showed that the mentioned human activity provoked a clear shift in the cladoceran community. A PCA was performed with samples from both sub-basins to detect the direction and nature of the changes. Before water transference, the phytophilous chydorid community, represented by Acroperus angustatus in one sub-basin and by both A. angustatus and Graptoleberis testudinaria in the other sub-basin, were well developed. After the construction of the canal and the inflow of additional yet different water from the reservoir, the proportion of chydorids relative to total cladoceran diminished considerably; this was mainly due to the invasion of Bosmina longirostris. These results indicate that the hydrological alteration caused a shift from an oligotrophic, shallower lake with a rich plant-associated cladoceran community to a more eutrophic lake with a predominant planktonic cladoceran community; and that cladoceran remains are a powerful tool to detect hydrological changes and eutrophication.

Cladocera response to Late Glacial to Early Holocene climate change in a South Carpathian mountain lake

et al. 2011

This study explores changes in cladoceran composition in a high mountain lake of the Retezat (Lake Brazi), the South Carpathian Mountains of Romania, during the Late Glacial-Early Holocene (14,500-11,600 cal. yr. BP) transition using a paleolimnological approach. The lake had a species poor cladoceran community throughout this period. Daphnia longispina, Chydorus sphaericus and Alona affinis were the most common, showing marked fluctuations in their relative abundances through time. Distinct faunal response to warming at the Younger Dryas (YD)/Preboreal transition was recorded by increasing fossil densities and distinct community composition change: Alona affinis became dominant while numbers of Chydorus sphaericus dramatically decreased. In the Early Holocene, the productivity of Lake Brazi seem to have increased as reflected by higher numbers of Cladocera due to appearance of new species (Alona rectangula, A. quadrangularis and A. guttata) which are common in productive waters. Significant negative correlation was found between average dorsal length of daphnid ephippia and the NGRIP d18 O isotope values. Given the absence of fish predation, changes in Daphnia ephippia size were taken to indicate climatic change: larger ephippium size inferred cold conditions during the Late Glacial, while smaller size reflected climate warming during the Early Holocene. We conclude that Cladocera fossils are good indicators of climatic change that happened during the transition from the Late Glacial to the Holocene. We found that climatic conditions can be tracked either by size distribution of Daphnia ephippia (larger ephippium size under colder climate) and/or by community change of cladocerans.
