There is a strong tendency now for specialists in various groups of organisms, or in various processes and their consequences, to get together at more or less regular intervals to discuss their subjects. This has hap• pened e.g. with the Chironomidae, Ephemeroptera, and Plecoptera among the aquatic insects, and the Rotifera, Copepoda, and Ostracoda among the . Finally the scientists working with the Cladocera, who have been isolated from one another for a long time except on a personal basis, have decided to do the same, largely through the initiative and drive of L. Forro. Thus, the First International Symposium on Cladocera was held in Budapest on 12-16 August 1985. Most of the roughly 60 attendees were from Euro• pean countries, although a fair number came from Australia, Canada, India, Nigeria, and the United States. The accompanying table presents a list of attendees by country of origin. Regrettably, a number of persons who had expressed interest in coming were unable to do so. Their names and, in two instances countries, enclosed in brackets, are given to indicate the overall extent of topics that would have been discussed. Persons who presented papers or posters are indicated by an asterisk (*). The names of persons who chaired sessions are printed in italics. A total of 34 papers and 10 posters was presented, most of which are included in this volume. Besides three days for presentation of papers, there was a half day for discussion (,Mediterranean Workshop') and another half day for an excursion to the bend of the Danube. Most of the work in organizing this symposium was done by L. Forro and his associates in aquatic studies in Hungary, aided by an International Organizing Committee consisting of H. J. Dumont (Belgium), L. For• ro (Hungary), D. G. Frey (USA), G. Fryer (Great Britain), and N. N. Smirnov (Soviet Union). Logistic ar• rangements for the meeting were handled largely by IBUSZ, the Hungarian tourist agency. Besides getting specialists from around the World together to talk about their own particular interests in Cladocera for the first time, the group has decided to have further symposia at 3-year intervals, the next of which will be held in Czechoslovakia in 1988. It has also initiated efforts to establish a newsletter to keep investigators informed of activities and progress in the various laboratories. Other positive results are hoped for. For example, at present there is no central source of information to which one can turn to learn about where type material of various taxa is stored and what voucher material is also available. Because of the ravages of wars and other episodes of uncertain curation, many of the older specimens have been lost completely. An inventory of such materials by country or prominent scientist would be most valuable. Anyone reading this volume will see immediately that many topics relating to the Cladocera are represent• ed. The answer to the question, 'What are Cladocera?' , is that this is not a monophyletic group but probably includes four separate orders. We are all interested in the evolution of Cladocera, which ultimately involves knowledge of genetic processes. Persons working with the , principally various in and Simocepha/us, have been able to demonstrate by electrophoresis that hybridization occurs naturally in nature, although there seems to be little introgression between the parents. On the one hand, it is presumed that the great diversity of in the Baltic Region resulted from hybridization between a few invading species in the early Holocene, but, on the other hand, paleolimnological studies of lakes in northern Germa• ny do not reveat the sequence of taxa predicted. Natural hybridization in the seems not to occur VI at all, or at least, if it does, to result in any gene exchange between parent populations. Distributions of spe• cies are being disrupted by man, such as the recent introductions of two species of from North Ameri• ca and East Asia into the ricefields of Italy. Except for such man-related movements, however, the distribu• tion of the Chydoridae is stabile. Many of what are called species today are in reality groups of species, with, seemingly, a different group member(s) on each continent. There seems to be no true cosmopolitanism in this family. Very careful studies on feeding by Daphnia in Lake Balaton have demonstrated that these depend not so much on algae for their energy and substance as on the organic films that cover the mineral silt and clay particles in the water. Other studies reported are concerned in nice detail with processes in the Cladocera - competition among species and how a number of closely related species eating much the same food can co-exist at the same time, or birth, growth, and mortality of the Bosmina population in the River Danube in Hungary, and the detailed response of cladoceran communities to changes in lakes resulting from changes in watershed conditions, such as those induced by acid precipitation. This is a beginning. The symposium was highly stimulating to the participants, and indications are that the enthusiasm generated will lead to various types of cooperation, and eventually will lead to a comprehen• sive understanding of the Cladocera, their evolution and their involvement in various ecological processes.
