An overview of the rotifers of the family Notommatidae (Rotifera: Monogononta: Ploima) from Iran

Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2010
The diversity and distribution of the rotifers family Notommatidae was studied in the northwest, the south and the southwest of Iran. In total, 29 species were identified, of which, 25 are new records for the country.

<i>Brachionus leydigii</i> (Monogononta: Ploima) reported from the western basin of Lake Erie. [PDF]

J Great Lakes Res, 2018
Several species of non-indigenous planktonic invertebrates have historically been introduced to the Laurentian Great Lakes. Previous introductions of non-indigenous planktonic invertebrates to the Great Lakes have been crustacean zooplankton, specifically Cladocera and Copepoda.

Biogeography and co-occurrence of 16 planktonic species of Keratella Bory de St. Vincent, 1822 (Rotifera, Ploima, Brachionidae) in lakes and reservoirs of the United States. [PDF]

Zootaxa, 2019
We report current distributions of 16 species of Keratella Bory de St. Vincent, 1822 within lakes and reservoirs of the U.S. Specimens were identified from 988 lakes and reservoirs during spring and summer 2012 as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Lakes Assessment (NLA).

The evolution of Synchaetidae (Rotifera: Monogononta) with a focus on Synchaeta: An integrative approach combining molecular and morphological data

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 823-857, November 2020., 2020
Based on morphological and molecular re‐examinations of 19 species of Synchaetidae, we derived the first comprehensive phylogeny for this taxon based on a robust methodology (maximum‐likelihood analysis of one morphological and two molecular data sets) to determine why this clade is so successful within Rotifera. From a reconstructed rotatorivorous and

The first checklist of rotifers of Armenia

Acta Biologica Sibirica
Armenia is located in the Caucasus Ecoregion, one of Earth's most biologically rich regions and ranked among the planet’s 36 most diverse hotspots. Although the country is home to a wide range of flora and fauna, much of its biological wealth has yet to ...

Advancing aquatic biodiversity assessments of invertebrates using eDNA metabarcoding: A systematic evaluation of primers for marine and freshwater communities

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2408-2430, October 2025.
Abstract Invertebrate richness and community composition are key indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. Compared with morphotaxonomy‐based survey methods, DNA metabarcoding is a highly efficient and scalable biomonitoring approach that has become increasingly used in invertebrate surveys.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Three's a crowd: The relationship among endoparasites, an epibiont and their Daphnia host

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.
In freshwater communities, organisms interact in a variety of ways, including predation, competition and parasitism. Parasites are ubiquitous, playing an important role in shaping freshwater communities. Endoparasites live within internal organs of their host, while ectoparasites, also known as epibionts, are confined to the external part of the host's
