EST based phylogenomics of Syndermata questions monophyly of Eurotatoria [PDF]
Background The metazoan taxon Syndermata comprising Rotifera (in the classical sense of Monogononta+Bdelloidea+Seisonidea) and Acanthocephala has raised several hypotheses connected to the phylogeny of these animal groups and the included subtaxa.

Environmental RNA-Based Metatranscriptomics as a Novel Biomonitoring Tool: A Case Study of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Effects on Freshwater Eukaryotic Communities. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Traditional morphology‐ and molecular‐based biodiversity surveys provide essential information on species composition and diversity, but they rarely provide information about the physiological states of organisms, which are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Transcriptome data reveal Syndermatan relationships and suggest the evolution of endoparasitism in Acanthocephala via an epizoic stage. [PDF]
The taxon Syndermata comprises the biologically interesting wheel animals ("Rotifera": Bdelloidea + Monogononta + Seisonidea) and thorny-headed worms (Acanthocephala), and is central for testing superordinate phylogenetic hypotheses (Platyzoa, Gnathifera)

A mitogenomic re-evaluation of the bdelloid phylogeny and relationships among the Syndermata. [PDF]
Molecular and morphological data regarding the relationships among the three classes of Rotifera (Bdelloidea, Seisonidea, and Monogononta) and the phylum Acanthocephala are inconclusive.

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered? [PDF]
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

New data on rotifers (Rotifera) from European waterbodies [PDF]
Rotifers (Rotifera) are microscopic pseudocoelomate animals that represent one of the key components of plankton, periphyton and benthos communities in aquatic ecosystems. As members of the zooplankton, they play an important role as primary consumers of
