Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009 Studies were carried out to quantify the functional response and prey selectivity of larval (1-5 weeks old) of Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae, a widely cultured ornamental fish, using four rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus, B. havanaensis, B. patulus and B.

Asymmetric Micro-Evolutionary Responses in a Warming World: Heat-Driven Adaptation Enhances Metal Tolerance in a Planktonic Rotifer, but Not Vice Versa. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolRapid genetic adaptation is a potentially important mechanism by which natural populations can increase their tolerance to human‐induced environmental stressors. In our study, we demonstrated that zooplankton populations adapted to heat stress exhibited increased tolerance to copper toxicity.

Journal of Limnology, 2009 The rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface-attached, i.e. epizootic, bacteria to ascertain their specific localization and thus find out if we could discern between rotifer and bacterial enzyme ...

Suitability of Different Live Feed for First Feeding of Freshwater Fish Larvae
Aquaculture Journal, 2023 First feeding of many fish larvae depends on live feed. A comparative investigation on the effectiveness of different types of live feed is not available to our knowledge.

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2016 The levels of emerging chemicals have increased dramatically during the last two decades posing problems for human and environmental health. Pain-killers such as ibuprofen and antibiotics such as amoxicillin are generally consumed together and hence are ...

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two marine monogonont rotifer Brachionus manjavacas strains
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The complete mitochondrial genomes of Brachionus manjavacas German strain were 10,721 bp (mitochondrial DNA I) and 12,274 bp (mitochondrial DNA II) in size, while the complete mitochondrial genomes of B.

Quantifying directed behavioural stress response in two planktonic rotifer species [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceIn a spatially heterogeneous world, it is key for animals to sense the quality of their immediate environment and perform a directed avoidance behaviour when the environment is harmful.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 The two complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus angularis. The mitochondrial genome sequences were 10,764 bp (mitochondrial DNA I) and 12,238 bp (mitochondrial DNA II) in size, respectively.

Adapting to an increasingly stressful environment: Experimental evidence for 'micro-evolutionary priming'. [PDF]
J Anim EcolOur study shows that exposure to low stress makes zooplankton populations more tolerant to extreme stress. This phenomenon, here called micro‐evolutionary priming, is rarely studied in animals. We provide strong evidence for its existence and explore its implications for the fate of populations in an increasingly stressful world.
