We compared the population growth of B. calyciflorus and B. patulus using the green alga Chlorella vulgaris, baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae or their mixture in equal proportions as food. Food was offered once every 24 h in two concentrations (low:

Toxic effects of tribromomethane (TBM), a most used drinking water disinfection byproduct, on rotifers are unknown. we investigated the effects of TBM (0, 0.001, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 mg/L) on the life table demography of the freshwater rotifer ...

Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

Adapting to an increasingly stressful environment: Experimental evidence for 'micro-evolutionary priming'. [PDF]
Our 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.

Brachionus calyciflorus is a species complex consisting of four recently described species. Although several lines of evidence support their species status, hybridization between two of the sibling species B. calyciflorus s.s. and B.

TOXICITY OF PREDNISOLONE, DEXAMETHASONE AND THEIR PHOTOCHEMICAL DERIVATIVES ON AQUATIC ORGANISMS [PDF]
Light exposure of aqueous suspensions of prednisolone and dexamethasone causes their partial phototransformation. The photoproducts, isolated by chromatographic techniques, have been identified by spectroscopic means.
