RESUMEN: Colombia es uno de los países con mayor diversidad de especies y de ecosistemas en el planeta. Los lagos ubicados en llanuras de inundación o «ciénagas» (como comúnmente se las conoce en Colombia) comprenden un tipo de ecosistema acuático, que, no obstante su elevada riqueza específica, han sido someramente estudiados. Las investigaciones básicas en estos ambientes son escasas, en su mayoría se hallan publicadas en la «literatura gris» y no existe una compilación actualizada de los diversos aspectos que ya han sido tratados. El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer el estado del arte en la investigación de estos ecosistemas en Colombia, analizando las diferentes líneas de investigación que se ha desarrollado y su grado de avance. Con este fin, se examinaron 150 trabajos realizados en 86 sistemas de la llanura inundable colombiana. Los resultados muestran que la investigación en estos ecosistemas se ha enfocado principalmente (70%) en los siguientes temas: potencial pesquero (19%), fitoplancton (16%), limnología física (12.4%), zooplancton (11.3%) y estudios de conservación (10.8%). Aspectos importantes como el perifiton, las macrófitas, la microbiología ambiental y la producción primaria todavía no han sido evaluados en profundidad.
ABSTRACT: Colombia is one of the planet countries with the largest species and ecosystems diversities. The floodplain lakes or «ciénagas» (as commonly known in Colombia) constitute a type of aquatic ecosystem, that, notwithstanding their elevated specific richness, are poorly understood. Basic investigations in these environments are few, their results have been mainly published in the «grey literature» and there isn’t an updated compilation of the different aspects already treated. The objective of this article is to present the state of the art of investigations developed in the colombian «ciénagas» and their state of progress. With this aim, 150 research papers addressing investigation findings in 86 floodplain colombian lakes were examined. The results showed that the lines of investigation have mainly focused (70%) on the following topics: fisheries potential (19%), phytoplankton (16%), physical limnology (12.4%), zooplankton (11.3%) and conservation studies (10.8%). Important aspects such as periphyton, macrophytes, environmental microbiology and primary production have not been deeply evaluated yet.
