Lepidodermella weissi, new species (Gastrotricha: Chaetonotida: Chaetonotidae) from northwestern Oregon, U.S.A. [PDF]
Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, 2021 A new species of Lepidodermella (Gastrotricha: Chaetonotida: Chaetonotidae) is described from two streams in northwestern Oregon, U.S.A. This is the fourth species of freshwater gastrotrich reported from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The dearth of reports appears to be due more to a lack of study rather than a lack of gastrotrichs.

Metabarcoding Close to Home: Songbird Nests as eDNA Aggregators for Trophic Ecology and Biodiversity Studies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe present a novel method for extracting eDNA from whole bird nests and a LNA blocking oligonucleotide designed to reduce metabarcoding reads from nest building sparrows. Metabarcoding of 22 nests from a montane sagebrush steppe ecosystem detected 126 species, primarily insects, including putative diet items, ectoparasites, and confirmed nest predators.

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

The phylogenetic position of Neogosseidae (Gastrotricha: Chaetonotida) and the origin of planktonic Gastrotricha [PDF]
Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2015 Planktonic forms of Gastrotricha have been known since the 1850s, despite the fact that they are rather uncommon and difficult to collect. They are characterized by a round sack-shaped body, an absence of furcal adhesive tubes, and a different distribution of the locomotory ciliation compared to epibenthic and periphytic gastrotrichs. Today, planktonic

New species and new records of freshwater Chaetonotida (Gastrotricha) from Sweden [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2011 Gastrotricha is a small phylum of acoelomatic aquatic invertebrates common in both marine and freshwater environments. The freshwater gastrotrich fauna of Sweden is poorly known and so far only 20 species have been reported. In this study two species, Heterolepidoderma joermungandri n. sp. and H. trapezoidum n.
