N2 - Extensive sampling of 202 lentic water bodies (lakes, lagoons
and ponds) located between 3150 and
4460 m a.s.l. in the Cajas National Park (South Ecuadorian Andes) has revealed the high
interest of
these mountain enclaves in tropical latitudes for the investigation of faunal and ecological
aspects of
the branchiopod fauna. The first results allowed to recognize 21 species, 15 of them new to
Ecuador, of
which 2 are in process of description to be published as new to science. All species are
characteristic of
little mineralized and oligotrophic waters, 8 of them appear in the plankton and the rest in
the limnetic
littoral benthos.
