Trans-Generational Morphological Trait Plasticity in Parthenogenetic Offspring of Two <i>Brachionus dorcas</i> Morphotypes Induced by <i>Asplanchna</i> Kairomones. [PDF]
We compared life‐table parameters and trans‐generation (F0–F12) morphological developmental plasticity induced by Asplanchna kairomones between two Brachionus dorcas morphotypes (long‐posterior spines, LS; short‐posterior spines, SS). The results revealed that the SS offspring employed a synergistic defense combining increased body size and spine ...

Functional groups of rotifers and an exotic species in a tropical shallow lake
In freshwater environments the rotifer group may be divided into microphagous and raptorial species regarding their feeding patterns, and such guilds differently interact with other community components.

Brachionus rotifers as a model for investigating dietary and metabolic regulators of aging
Because every species has unique attributes relevant to understanding specific aspects of aging, using a diversity of study systems and a comparative biology approach for aging research has the potential to lead to novel discoveries applicable to human ...

An ecological study of Rotifera of the Southern Shatt Al-Arab River, Basrah, Iraq
At three stations of the Shatt Al-Arab River, the ecology of Rotifera was studied: the first Al-Ashar second Abul Khasib and the third Al-Fao. Seasonal horizontal hauls were taken by a plankton net of a mesh-size of 53-µm during 2013. Density of Rotifera

RAS based culture system for continuous production of Rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus) in mass
The present study was undertaken to find out preferred food type, minimum effective algal cell requirement, effective harvest rate of rotifers and to design and construct re-circulatory aquaculture system (RAS) based rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus ...

Planktonic rotifers of a saline-lowland river : The Salado River (Argentina) [PDF]
Seasonal samples of zooplankton were taken during 1997-1999 at fifteen stations in the Salado River basin, and analysed in order to study the rotifer fauna. Spatio-temporal changes in the rotifer plankton composition were examined in the main channel and

The relationship between epilithic biofilm stability and its associated meiofauna under two patterns of flood disturbance [PDF]
Habitat stability is an important driver of ecological community composition and development. River epilithic biofilms are particularly unstable habitats for the establishment of benthic communities because they are regularly disturbed by floods. Our aim

Role of Rotifers in Betanodavirus Transmission to European Sea Bass Larvae
Marine invertebrates such as rotifers or Artemia, frequently used for fish larvae feeding, can be a potential source of pathogens. It has been demonstrated that Artemia can act as a nervous necrosis virus (NNV)-vector to Senegalese sole larvae. Therefore,
