Rotiferan Hox genes give new insights into the evolution of metazoan bodyplans [PDF]
The phylum Rotifera consists of minuscule, nonsegmented animals with a unique body plan and an unresolved phylogenetic position. The presence of pharyngeal articulated jaws supports an inclusion in Gnathifera nested in the Spiralia.

Biomass and production of net zooplankton in the Bering Sea
Total biomass and production are evaluated for taxonomic groups of zooplankton sampled with Juday net (mesh size 0.168 mm) from the 0-200 m layer in the Bering Sea in 1986-2018. The annual mean stock of zooplankton is assessed as 245.1 .
