Abstract
Lake sediments contain a variety of organic and inorganic remains that may be used to track the history of a lake or its catchment. Shells, head-shields, post-abdomens and claws of Cladocera are among the most frequently found animal remains in sedimentary deposits. They have played an important role in providing information on various environmental events and disturbances affecting lake status, such as climatic changes, trophic oscillations, acidification, and water-level changes. Yet, one major problem has been to relate sediment core findings to animal ecology. As in the case of other organism groups, many contradictory records and opinions have been presented concerning their paleoecology and indicator value of cladocerans.
