Resumen
En la región noreste de la provincia de La Pampa existe una gran cantidad de ecosistemas acuáticos muy heterogéneos, sin embargo los estudios limnológicos sobre ellos son escasos. El objetivo es describir la composición del zooplancton de cinco cuerpos de agua y reportar la presencia de seis especies no registradas en la provincia. Entre 2016 y 2017 se tomaron muestras en dos pequeños lagos (“ojos de agua”) subsalinos, de alta transparencia, con vegetación arraigada y en tres lagunas sub o hiposalinas, sin vegetación y menor transparencia. Se registraron ocho cladóceros, nueve copépodos y 27 rotíferos. En todos los casos los rotíferos dominaron en número de especies y densidad pero las comunidades zooplanctónicas de los ojos de agua fueron diferentes de las de las lagunas. Los ambientes estudiados están en un área geográfica reducida, pero su diversidad fue mayor que la encontrada en áreas más extensas de La Pampa, lo que puede deberse a la heterogeneidad de los ecosistemas acuáticos incluidos en este estudio. Tres copépodos (Argyrodiaptomus bergi, Boeckella bergi y Eucyclops neumani) y tres rotíferos (Euchlanis dilatata, Lecane closterocerca y Plationus patulus) son citados por primera vez para la provincia de La Pampa. Este estudio confirma que la distribución de A. bergi y E. neumani es más amplia que la conocida hasta ahora, restringida a Brasil y la cuenca del Paraná - del Plata, pero el resto son especies extensamente distribuidas en Argentina. En consecuencia, la falta de información en La Pampa se debió a la ausencia de investigaciones previas.
The northeastern region of La Pampa province has a large number of heterogenic aquatic ecosystems; however, limnological studies of these ecosystems are scarce. The objective of this study is to describe the composition of the zooplankton of five water bodies and report the presence of six species not previously registered in the province. Between 2016 and 2017, samples were taken in two small, highly transparent subsaline lakes (“water holes”) with rooted vegetation and in three sub- or hyposaline shallow lakes, without vegetation and with less transparency. Eight cladocerans, nine copepods, and 27 rotifers were recorded. In all cases, rotifers dominated in number of species and density, but the zooplankton communities of the water holes differed from those of the shallow lakes. The aquatic ecosystems studied are in a reduced geographic area, but their diversity was greater than that of larger areas of La Pampa, which may be due to the heterogeneity of the water bodies included in this study. Three copepods (Argyrodiaptomus bergi, Boeckella bergi, and Eucyclops neumani) and three rotifers (Euchlanis dilatata, Lecane closterocerca, and Plationus patulus) have been identified for the first time in La Pampa province. This study confirms that the distribution of A. bergi and E. neumani is wider than known so far, which was restricted to Brazil and the Paraná - del Plata basin, but the remaining zooplankton are species widely distributed in Argentina. Thus, the lack of information in La Pampa was due to the absence of previous investigations.
