Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bdelloid Rotifers

open access: yesScience, 2008
Horizontal gene transfer in metazoans has been documented in only a few species and is usually associated with endosymbiosis or parasitism. By contrast, in bdelloid rotifers we found many genes that appear to have originated in bacteria, fungi, and ...

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

Improvement of the nutritional value and growth of rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis) by different enrichment period with Bacillus sp.

open access: yesJurnal Akuakultur Indonesia, 2011
Brachionus plicatilis is a widely used as natural feed in hatchery. Characteristics of rotifers as biocapsule can improve the quality of rotifers in a practical way. Bacillus sp.

The Effects of Alewife on the Zooplankton Community in Townhouse Pond [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The purpose of this study was to determine what plankton species was more dominant in Townhouse Pond and what effects predation has on the food web. Plankton size is important when determining pelagic food web structure.

Drivers and food web effects of Gonyostomum semen blooms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The flagellate Gonyostomum semen forms dense late-summer blooms in humic lakes and is a nuisance to swimmers because it forms a slimy coat on the skin, causing irritation in sensitive individuals. Increasing occurrence and bloom incidence of G. semen has

A Checklist of Turkish Rotifers

open access: yesTurkish Journal of Zoology, 2012
In a book chapter containing the first checklist and distribution of Turkish rotifers, published in 1999, were listed 167 taxa. The second checklist, published in 2004, reported 229 rotifer taxa in Turkey. During the 7 years since this checklist process, many studies have been carried out and we have prepared a new checklist of Turkish rotifers in the ...

Replacement of fresh algae with commercial formulas to enrich rotifers in larval rearing of yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi (Valenciennes, 1833)

open access: yes, 2014
This study compared the efficacy of four products that are commonly used in hatchery for nutritional enhancement of rotifer Brachionus plicatilis as the starter food for yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi larvae.

Life on the Edge: Ecosystem Features of Lakes Across a Mountain–Prairie Elevation Gradient in Western Canada

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecological transition zones such as mountain elevation gradients can influence the function and productivity of lakes through changes in climatic characteristics and catchment composition (i.e., land use/land cover). However, surveys of limnological features along such ecological transition zones show variable patterns, making it difficult to ...

Zooplankton biodiversity and community structure vary along spatiotemporal environmental gradients in restored peridunal ponds

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2015
Zooplankton assemblages in neighboring ponds can show important spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Disentangling the influence of regional versus local factors, and of deterministic versus stochastic processes has been recently highlighted in the ...

Environmental Changes Produced by Cold-Water Outlets from Three Arkansas Reservoirs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
Water qualities of two natural streams (Buffalo and Kings Rivers), one new coId-tailwater (Beaver), and two old coId-tailwaters (Norfork and Bull Shoals) in northwestern Arkansas were studied from July 1965 through October 1968.
