High infestation and phylogenetic position of Epistylis sp. (Ciliophora, Peritrichia) on Aegla serrana Buckup & Rossi (Crustacea, Anomura) from southern Brazil [PDF]
High infestations of epibiont ciliates on vertebrates or invertebrates are normally related to aquaculture tanks or similar environments, and the importance of this relationship in natural habitats is often disregarded. Here, we describe the first record

Taxonomical study of ciliates species (Order: Holotricha) in Zayandeh Rud River and the reservoirreservoir [PDF]
Ciliates are among the largest classes of protozoans. They can be found in almost every aquatic environment. Ciliates serve as an intermediate link in the energy transfer chain from picoplankton to zooplankton.

Effect of large- and small- bodied zooplankton on phytoplankton in a eutrophic oxbow [PDF]
Macrozooplankton and microzooplankton effects on the phytoplankton were measured in situ in a eutrophic lake. Indigenous phytoplankton were incubated for 5 days in 301 mesocosms with either the macro- and microzooplankton (complete), microzooplankton ...
