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 ...

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.

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

The effect of temperature on life history parameters and cost of reproduction in the rotiferBrachionus calyciflorus [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2011 AbstractMonogononta is the most speciose class of rotifers, with more than 2,000 species. The monogonont genus Brachionus is widely distributed at a global scale, and a few of its species are commonly used as ecological and evolutionary models to address questions related to aquatic ecology, cryptic speciation, evolutionary ecology, the evolution of ...

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,

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.

Effects of rapamycin on life span and on expression of TOR and S6K in Brachionus calyciflorus (Rotifera) [PDF]
Aquatic Biology, 2017 The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) coordinates a complex signal pathway from translation to autophagy that is a key regulator of not only growth and proliferation but also metabolism and aging.

Mitochondrial genomes of the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus fernandoi and of two additional B. calyciflorus sensu stricto lineages from Germany and the USA (Rotifera, Brachionidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The Brachionus calyciflorus species complex was recently subdivided into four species, but genetic resources to resolve phylogenetic relationships within this complex are still lacking.

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 ...
