Geographic origin shapes the adaptive divergences of Rotaria rotatoria (Rotifera, Bdelloidea) to thermal stress: Insights from ecology and transcriptomics [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGlobal warming has raised concerns regarding the potential impact on aquatic biosafety and health. To illuminate the adaptive mechanisms of bdelloid rotifers in response to global warming, the ecological and transcriptomic characteristics of two strains (

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.

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 ...

High-frequency sampling unveils biotic and abiotic drivers of rapid phytoplankton morphological changes. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Phytoplankton, as primary producers, play a key role in aquatic ecosystems. Their community turnover is shaped by morphological traits that enable adaptation to diverse abiotic and biotic factors. Yet, the temporal scale of these dynamics remains poorly understood due to limited high‐frequency sampling studies.

A mitogenomic re-evaluation of the bdelloid phylogeny and relationships among the Syndermata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Molecular and morphological data regarding the relationships among the three classes of Rotifera (Bdelloidea, Seisonidea, and Monogononta) and the phylum Acanthocephala are inconclusive.

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.

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.

A georeferenced dataset for occurrence records of the phylum Rotifera in Africa
Journal of Limnology, 2023 We report a dataset of all known and published occurrence records of animals of the phylum Rotifera, including Bdelloidea, Monogononta, and Seisonacea (with the exclusion of Acanthocephala) for Africa and surrounding islands and archipelagos.
