Title A name given to the resource Population dynamics of Moina minuta Hansen (1899), Ceriodaphnia cornuta Sars (1886), and Diaphanosoma spinulosum Herbst (1967) (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) in different nutrients (N and P) concentration ranges Dinâmica populacional de Moina minuta Hansen (1899), Ceriodaphnia cornuta Sars (1886) e Diaphanosoma spinulosum Herbst (1967) (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) em diferentes faixas de concentração de nutrientes (N e P) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ana Carolina Brito Vieira, Ana Maria Alves Medeiros, Leonardo Leôncio Ribeiro, Maria Cristina Crispim Description An account of the resource AIM: Aquatic environments of semi-arid regions are subject to changes in water quality and volume due to short and irregular rain seasons. Consequently, zooplankton composition changes in association to fluctuations in the trophic degree. To comprehend these processes, this study analyzed the influence of nutrient concentrations (N and P) on the population dynamics of three species of Cladocera - Moina minuta, Ceriodaphnia cornuta, and Diapahnosoma spinulosum - from the Taperoá II Dam, Paraíba, Brazil; METHODS: Animals were experimentally submitted to different nutrient concentrations as a means to reproduce specific trophic conditions from natural environments. Zooplankton densities were evaluated once every three days, with food (i.e. algal cultures) being supplied in alternate days. To compare population growth, an ANOVA was performed, followed by Tukey's HSD post-hoc test; RESULTS: The population growth of the three species differed significantly both among species and among treatments. Moina minuta populations showed higher growth rates under higher nutrient concentrations, whereas Ceriodaphnia cornuta growed more efficiently in intermediate concentrations, and Diaphanosoma spinulosum showed a better development in low nutrient concentrations; CONCLUSIONS: The results from the experimental approach, presented here, are similar to what is observed in the field, based on previous studies carried out in the Taperoá II Dam. Therefore, these results suggest that the hydrological cycle seems to be the major determinant of zooplankton population dynamics in aquatic semi-arid environmentsOBJETIVO: Os ambientes aquáticos de regiões semi-áridas sofrem alterações na qualidade da água e no seu volume devido à irregularidade do período chuvoso. Consequentemente, o zooplâncton sofre alterações em sua composição com a evolução do estado trófico. Para a compreensão desse processo, este trabalho analisou experimentalmente a influência da concentração de nutrientes (N e P) sobre a dinâmica populacional de três espécies de cladóceros: Moina minuta, Ceriodaphnia cornuta e Diaphanosoma spinulosum; MÉTODOS: Os animais foram submetidos a diferentes concentrações de nutrientes (N e P), de modo a representar diferentes níveis tróficos. As suas densidades foram medidas a cada três dias, e alimentação feita com uma cultura plurialgal em dias alternados. Para a comparação do desenvolvimento das populações, foi feito o teste ANOVA, seguido do teste de Tukey; RESULTADOS: O crescimento populacional das três espécies diferiu significativamente tanto entre as espécies quanto entre os tratamentos. As populações de Moina minuta obtiveram maior crescimento nas concentrações mais elevadas de nutrientes e Ceriodaphnia cornuta em concentrações intermediárias, enquanto Diaphanosoma spinulosum se desenvolveu melhor no tratamento com baixa concentração de nutrientes; CONCLUSÕES: Observa-se que, para as três espécies, o resultado obtido em laboratório é similar ao observado em campo, obtidos em estudos realizados anteriormente no local, e que o ciclo hidrológico parece ser o principal regulador da dinâmica desses organismos em ambientes aquáticos do semi-árido.
