Daphnia in the Tatra Mountain lakes: multiple colonisation and hidden species diversity revealed by molecular markers
Ecosystems of European mountain lakes may harbour relict populations of boreal aquatic species, including cryptic lineages not easily recognised using traditional taxonomic methods. As a previous genetic study revealed the presence of the cryptic cladoceran species Daphnia lacustris in the area, we...

Ecosystems of European mountain lakes may harbour relict populations of boreal aquatic species, including cryptic lineages not easily recognised using traditional taxonomic methods. As a previous genetic study revealed the presence of the cryptic cladoceran species Daphnia lacustris in the area, we explored the species diversity of the Daphnia longispina group (Crustacea: Cladocera: Anomopoda) in lakes of the Tatra Mountains (Central Europe: Slovakia - Poland). Daphnia populations representing various morphotypes from sixteen mountain lakes were analyzed by DNA methods, including restriction fragment length polymorphism of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS-RFLP) and sequencing of the mitochondrial 12S rDNA gene. Altogether, three Daphnia species of the D. longispina group were found in the region: D. longispina, D. galeata, and D. lacustris; we detected neither their syntopic occurrence nor interspecific hybrids.
