Abstract

A core of bottom sediments of 4.98 m depth has been taken from Lake Rubskoe, Ivanovo area (central part of the East European Plain). According to radiocarbon dating, the age of the lower layer of the core is 11 000 cal BP. A study of 23 samples has revealed the remains of 38 taxa of Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda). According to Lyubarsky’s scale, there are no dominant taxa among the cladocerans; Chydorus cf. sphaericus (Müller, 1776) and Bosmina (Eubosmina) cf. longispina (Leydig, 1860) are subdominant taxa. Typical arctic species that had inhabited the lake at the earlier stages of its formation were replaced by taxa that preferred temperate conditions during the development of the water body. Four faunistic zones have been identified on the stratigrhaphic diagram of the cladoceran community of Lake Rubskoe. An increase in the proportion of Bosmina (Eubosmina) cf. longispina in the layers of 8500 cal BP may have been related to an increase of the pelagic area of the water body at that period. In many cases, it is obvious that the rates of certain taxa in the taphocoenosis of Lake Rubskoe correlate with the climatic changes reported at that time.
