Bdelloid rotifers (Rotifera, Bdelloidea) of China: diversity and new records [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 Bdelloid rotifers are a group of microscopic invertebrates known for their obligate parthenogenesis and exceptional resistance to extreme environments. Their diversity and distributions are poorly studied in Asia, especially in China.

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered? [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepEndosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Rates of Filtration and Ingestion of a Microalga by Philodina roseola (Rotifera: Bdelloidea)
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2016 Rotifers play an important role in biogeochemical cycles and organic productivity of freshwater ecosystems due to their high metabolic rates. Information on filter feeding, their main process of energy acquisition, are relevant and still scarce for ...

Diverse DNA transposons in rotifers of the class Bdelloidea [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 We surveyed the diversity, structural organization, and patterns of evolution of DNA transposons in rotifers of the class Bdelloidea, a group of basal triploblast animals that appears to have evolved for millions of years without sexual reproduction. Representatives of five superfamilies were identified: ITm
