Daphnia spinulata Birabén, 1917 is an endemic cladoceran species, frequent in the zooplankton communities of the shallow lakes of the Pampean region of Argentina. These lakes have varying salinity levels and, being located in agricultural areas, are frequently subject to pesticide pollution. This study aimed to determine the effects of the herbicide glyphosate (Panzer Gold®) in combination with different salinity levels on the biological parameters of D. spinulata and its recovery ability after a short exposure. Three types of assays were performed: an acute toxicity test, a chronic assessment to determine survival, growth and reproduction, and recovery assays under optimal salinity conditions (1 g L − 1 ). The LC 50 -48h of glyphosate was 7.5 mg L − 1 (3. 15-11.72). Longevity and the number of offspring and clutches were signi cantly reduced by glyphosate and high salinity exposure, whether in isolation or combined. The timing of the rst offspring did not recover after glyphosate exposure. Our results reveal that D. spinulata is sensitive to the herbicide, which causes stronger negative effects in conditions of higher salinity. Further research is needed to shed further light on the sensitivity of this cladoceran to glyphosate and its variability under other interactive stress factors.

The timing of the first offspring did not recover after glyphosate exposure. Our results reveal that D. spinulata is sensitive to the herbicide, which causes stronger negative effects in conditions of higher salinity.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
