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 ...

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 ...

Rich freshwater rotifer fauna of small lentic ecosystems of south Andaman, Andaman Sea, India (Rotifera: Eurotatoria) [PDF]
, 2017 Small lentic ecosystems are hypothesized to be interesting habitats for metazoan diversity. This study is undertaken to document Rotifera of small freshwater bodies of south Andaman, India. A total of 11 2 species (S), belonging to 32 genera and

International Journal of Biodiversity, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 This study describes the richness and density of zooplankton across temporary pools in an intermittent river of semiarid Brazil and evaluates the partitioning of diversity across different spatial scales during the wet and dry periods. Given the highly patchy nature of these pools it is hypothesized that the diversity is not homogeneously distributed ...

Rotifer assemblages (Rotifera: Eurotatoria) of the floodplain lakes of Majuli River Island, the Brahmaputra river basin, northeast India [PDF]
, 2014 Our plankton and semi-plankton collections from twelve floodplain lakes (beels) of Majuli River Island, Upper Assam reveal 124 rotifer species (32 genera and 17 families); these merit biodiversity value as ~52.0% and ~30.0% of species, ~68.0 and ~45.0 ...
