New records of Rotifers from Iran with biogeographic considerations [PDF]
Kaya, Murat (Aksaray, Yazar)Th e rotifer fauna of Iran is poorly known. Th is comprehensive study presents the results of an investigation of rotifers sampled in 51 freshwater sites of Tehran and neighboring provinces of Iran, from May 2006 to May 2007.

The Plasticity of the Antioxidant Defence System of Coastal Zooplankton Communities
In this photo, a copepodite Acartia spp. is represented with Vorticella epiphytes. This photo was taken with the help of a PlanktoScope, which belongs to the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research. Photographer: Andriana Koutsandrea. ABSTRACT Zooplankton are expected to enhance their antioxidant defences and activate stress‐related biomarkers in response ...

Rotifers and tardigrades, microscopic animals discovered in the 18th century, have exceptional abilities to survive in hostile conditions. Exposing them to desiccation, extreme temperatures, and vacuum, scientists wanted to determine whether ...

Consensus on future research directions in the phylum Rotifera
Abstract Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation.

Temperature‐driven diet shift in an invasive omnivorous crustacean feeding on plankton
Abstract Global warming alters the physiology of ectotherm consumers, potentially making their diets more herbivorous. However, the relevance and generality of these changes remain poorly understood in a multispecies context. To address this critical knowledge gap, we experimentally tested the temperature‐dependent feeding preference of the invasive ...

Abstract Structured population models are parameterized to accurately project expected population sizes, stage/state distributions and population growth rates, but they also predict the variation in outcomes among individuals, such as the variance and skewness of lifetime reproductive output (LRO) and lifespan, the probability of never reproducing, and

Rates of Filtration and Ingestion of a Microalga by Philodina roseola (Rotifera: Bdelloidea)
Rotifers play an important role in biogeochemical cycles and organic productivity of freshwater ecosystems due to their high metabolic rates. Information on filter feeding, their main process of energy acquisition, are relevant and still scarce for ...

Rotifers as models for the biology of aging [PDF]
It has been two decades since 1993 when research on the biology of rotifer aging was last reviewed by Enesco. Much has transpired during this time as rotifer biologists have adapted to the “omics” revolution and incorporated these techniques into the experimental analysis of rotifers.

Impacts of Land Use and Flood Regime on Zooplankton Egg Banks in a Large River Floodplain
ABSTRACT Zooplankton egg banks are crucial in rebuilding zooplankton populations in temporary water bodies when favourable conditions return after dry periods. However, their abundance, viability, and hatching success depend on many factors, with changes in land use and flooding regimes being potentially crucial drivers.
