Lateral gene transfer between prokaryotes and multicellular eukaryotes: ongoing and significant? [PDF]
The expansion of genome sequencing projects has produced accumulating evidence for lateral transfer of genes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. However, it remains controversial whether these genes are of functional importance in their recipient

Prey Resource Utilization by Coexistent Hydromedusae from Friday Harbor, Washington, USA [PDF]
Prey selection patterns were quantified for a sympatric group of hydromedusae from Friday Harbor, WA. Selection patterns varied between species, but were largely replicable between sample dates and resembled dietary patterns found in similar studies from

The structure and spatial heterogeneity of zooplankton in small lake river Wel (Poland)
The aim of the study was to determine changes in potamoplankton structure caused by lakes in the fluvial system of the small River Wel. The river flows through 10 lakes. The study was conducted in 2007 and 2008.

Permafrost thaw lakes and ponds as habitats for abundant rotifer populations
Thermokarst lakes and ponds were sampled across a range of permafrost landscapes in subarctic Québec (Nunavik, Canada) to compare their rotifer and other zooplankton characteristics with a set of rock-basin lakes and ponds in the region.
