The study of zooplankton communities dates back to 1949, but remained marginal until the end of the 20th century when the number of publications increased notably. Here, we revise the history and accumulated knowledge on the zooplankton community in Uruguayan continental ecosystems, highlighting the main approaches and milestones. So far, ca. 100 academic papers with 219 authors have been published in international, regional, and local journals, accumulating more than 2150 citations. Most of the published studies come from shallow lakes, followed by reservoirs and estuaries, and were concentrated in the southern part of Uruguay. Most taxonomic records correspond to the Río de la Plata basin, followed by the Atlantic Ocean basin, and the Río Uruguay basin. The number of records in the rest of the country is comparatively low, with minima occurring in the basins of the rivers Negro and Santa Lucía. A total of 170 species belonging to 117 genera have been recorded, mainly for Copepoda, Cladocera and Rotifera. Limnological studies in Uruguay have historically followed an ecosystemic approach, thus, most of the literature referring to zooplankton has such a perspective. The most relevant ecological aspects analyzed so far include trophic interactions, species survival and dispersion, biological invasions, the relationship with eutrophication and climatic variability, and have applied traditional as well as functional and trait-based approaches. Our analysis allowed us to detect important knowledge gaps, that warrant attention for future studies which can help elucidate local and regional processes in freshwater zooplankton in Uruguay.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51110,"journal":{"name":"Limnologica","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 126024"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44869764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Endorheic soda lakes in Central Asia are subject to great fluctuations in its size depending on climatic conditions. Here we present research results covering the last 20 years, including the period from the maximum filling of the Torey lakes (Transbaikalia, Russia) to their aridification and the initial phase of their refilling. Barun-Torey and Zun-Torey lakes are the largest soda lakes in the arid zone with a large water surface area. A unique feature of lakes is the unstable hydrological regime. The reason for the water level change is the periodic filling and drying of lakes due to cyclic climatic changes in humidity and temperature. We aim to determine the response of the plankton communities to environmental change in the Torey lakes over this period. We analysed the interannual variations in phytoplankton and zooplankton species richness, structure and density. We conducted our studies during various phases of the hydrological cycle, including three periods for Zun-Torey Lake (high (1999 and 2003), intermediate (2007, 2011) and low (2014 and 2016) lake levels) and two periods for Barun-Torey (high water level (1999 and 2003) and the initial filling phase (2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021)). Barun-Torey Lake dried up completely in summer 2009 and since 2013 the initial refilling has been observed. Zun-Torey Lake dried up in fall 2017. Changes in water level and water chemistry determined plankton biodiversity transformation. Fluctuations of plankton communities were different for each lake and conformed the phases of the hydrological cycle. We identified four stage changes in plankton associations during the aridification of Zun-Torey Lake, and three stage changes in plankton associations as the water level fell and through the initial refilling phase for Barun-Torey Lake.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51110,"journal":{"name":"Limnologica","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 126047"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42373092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
