Abstract:

Surveying the fauna in conservation Alona areas ossiani, is an importantAlona guttata, strategy Alona to iheringula, recognize Alona patterns yara of, and richness Briospylus and repensendemism and to reduce gaps related to geographical distribution. This study presents the first record of cladocerans in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Southeastern Brazil. were observed in different environments. Here, we provide the taxonomic status and geographic distribution of each species observed in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia.
