Twelve taxa belonging to the genus Brachionus recorded from Reconquista River, Argentina, are reported with descriptions and figures. Several taxa are new to Argentina, and three (B. moronensis nov. sp., B. postcurvatus nov. sp. and B. urceolaris reductispinis nov. subsp.) are new to science. Morphological variability in the species of Brachionus identified is discussed. Biogeographical information and a key to the recorded species are also given.

TLDR
It is suggested that the natural seasonal changes in temperature and food generate successive time windows, which may be capitalized by the different grazer species, resulting in predictable phenology of grazer populations.
