We present the last 500 years of history of a high-altitude tropical lake Lago de la Luna located at Nevado de Toluca crater, Central Mexico, based on subfossil Cladocera analysis. Through the studied sedimentary sequence only five Cladocera species were present. Cladocera community was dominated by littoral species (4) and among them one (Ilyocryptus nevadensis) is endemic. The detailed analysis of the sediments (every 1 cm) allowed us to track contemporary climatic and anthropogenic changes. Our results showed that Lago de la Luna is a very sensitive ecosystem and has strong response to climatic changes. The most remarkable change in the Cladocera community was observed between 1683-1780 yr, which was well correlated with the Little Ice Age. PCA results implied that modern state of the lake Lago de la Luna is very similar to one 400-500 yr ago. Only one period was identified when human impact was of importance. This period seemed to correlate with changes in the lake ecosystem due to fish introduction in the 1950s.
