Sumario:The present study aimed to carry out a compilation concerning the art status of rotifer studies in natural environments of South America, with distinction to floodplains. This compilation was carried out based on available informations in literature until now and demonstrated a single distribution of studies and research advances. The majority of studies was recorded only for three South-American countries, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, and mainly for the three greatest watersheds, Amazon, Paraná and Orinoco. In this way, besides the ecological importance of these organisms, it could consider that there are few studies about rotifers face to the vast and heterogeneous territorial extent, and the various floodplain environments not even explored, in which more investigations are necessary to enlarge knowledge on ecology of the group and consequently to ecology of tropical floodplains
