Seasonal and spatial variability of zooplankton diversity in the Poyang Lake Basin using DNA metabarcoding. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Freshwater ecosystems face multiple threats to their stability globally. Habitat degradation is one of the drivers of global change in freshwater ecosystems. Poyang Lake is the largest lake in China, but its habitat has been seriously degraded because of human activities and natural factors, resulting in a decline in freshwater biodiversity ...

A mitogenomic re-evaluation of the bdelloid phylogeny and relationships among the Syndermata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Molecular and morphological data regarding the relationships among the three classes of Rotifera (Bdelloidea, Seisonidea, and Monogononta) and the phylum Acanthocephala are inconclusive.

Diversity and Species Composition of Microbiota Associated with Mosquito Breeding Habitats: A Study from Kurunegala District in Sri Lanka. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2019 The pool of microbiota associated with mosquito breeding habitats varies with the habitat type and its characteristic features. The pool of microbiota in a given mosquito breeding habitat can include free living, symbiotic, noncompetitive, parasitic, predatory, and toxin producing species.

Fine structure of the retrocerebral organ in the rotifer Trichocerca similis (Monogononta)
Invertebrate Biology, Volume 142, Issue 1, March 2023., 2023 Abstract The retrocerebral organ (RCO) is a complex glandular system that is widely distributed across species of phylum Rotifera (sensu stricto). This system is hypothesized to secrete mucus that aids in benthic locomotion, adhesion, and/or reproduction.

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1250-1264, November 2022., 2022 We analyzed water sample metagenomes to estimate zooplankton diversity in 22 freshwater lakes across eastern Canada. We tested the coherence of data based on morphologically identified zooplankton taxa and molecular genetic data derived from shotgun sequencing of environmental DNA collected at the same time.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2019 Cadmium is a toxic metal for zooplankton that produces deformations. Therefore, we used two native zooplankton species from Quintana Roo, Mexico, to obtain data regarding cadmium toxicity including the threshold concentration for observable morphological alterations and the percentage of organisms with morphological alterations at the exposure ...
