Observations of linear aggregation behavior in rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Linear aggregation is present in some animals, such as the coordinated movement of ants and the migration of caterpillars and spinylobsters, but none has been reported on rotifers.

Population dynamics of Brachionus calyciflorus driven by the associated natural bacterioplankton [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Zooplankton provides bacteria with a complex microhabitat richen in organic and inorganic nutrients, and the bacteria community also changes the physiochemical conditions for zooplankton, where the symbiotic relationship between them plays an important ...

Monogonont Rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus, Possesses Exceptionally Large, Fragmented Mitogenome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In contrast to the highly conserved mitogenomic structure and organisation in most animals (including rotifers), the two previously sequenced monogonont rotifer mitogenomes were fragmented into two chromosomes similar in size, each of which possessed one

Effects of testosterone and flutamide on reproduction in Brachionus calyciflorus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The effects of testosterone and flutamide on reproduction in Brachionus calyciflorus were studied. Asexual reproduction in B. calyciflorus was not affected by testosterone at different concentrations of flutamide. Flutamide in combination with 0, 25, 50,

The Relationship between Brachionus calyciflorus-Associated Bacterial and Bacterioplankton Communities in a Subtropical Freshwater Lake [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Zooplankton bodies are organic-rich micro-environments that support fast bacterial growth. Therefore, the abundance of zooplankton-associated bacteria is much higher than that of free-living bacteria, which has profound effects on the nutrient cycling of

Complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus (Rotifera, Brachionidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 The two complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from the Netherlands strain of the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus. The mitochondrial genome sequences were 27,698 bp and 9,906 bp in size, respectively.

Within species expressed genetic variability and gene expression response to different temperatures in the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus sensu stricto. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Genetic divergence is impacted by many factors, including phylogenetic history, gene flow, genetic drift, and divergent selection. Rotifers are an important component of aquatic ecosystems, and genetic variation is essential to their ongoing adaptive ...

Reverse taxonomy applied to the Brachionus calyciflorus cryptic species complex: Morphometric analysis confirms species delimitations revealed by molecular phylogenetic analysis and allows the (re)description of four species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The discovery and exploration of cryptic species have been profoundly expedited thanks to developments in molecular biology and phylogenetics. In this study, we apply a reverse taxonomy approach to the Brachionus calyciflorus species complex, a commonly ...

Taxonomic, functional and interspecific response of zooplankton to management practices in carp ponds [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEcological management practices in fishponds are evolving rapidly, and zooplankton communities provide a reliable indicator of these effects. Over an eight-month period, in nine experimental ponds in the Czech Republic, we assessed the taxonomic ...

Suitable Acidified Eggshell Powder Food Promotes Brachionus calyciflorus Growth and Reproduction: From Antioxidant Capacity Insight [PDF]
Aquaculture NutritionRotifers are natural initial bait for fish larvae in freshwater. Here, the effects of various concentrations of acidified eggshell powder solutions (0, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 mg/L) on the growth and reproduction of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus ...
