We assess biodiversity status of Rotifera known from India to-date based on our studies various regions this country and evaluation other viable records, highlight notable features biogeography richness. The Indian fauna reveals 434 valid species belonging to 68 genera 25 families thus indicates the most biodiverse vis-àvis south Southeast Asia, records ~25% ~41% global regional biogeographic i...

We present a data set reporting the checklist of species phylum Rotifera for Italy, updating one previously published in series ‘Checklist delle Specie della Fauna d'Italia’ 1995. The records updated refer to 483 taxa at and subspecies level currently known from national Italian territories (119 Bdelloidea, 362 Monogononta, 2 Seisonacea) regional (22 terrestrial nine marine geographical units)....

Herein, we report the response of indices based on phytoplankton and zooplankton and their combination to different nutrient concentrations in lakes. The study was carried out in ten lakes in northeastern Poland. Integrated samples were collected from the epilimnion during the summer of 2012-2013. Secchi disk visibility (SD), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and chlorophyll a were us...

Samples of Rotifera genus Brachionus were collected from Al-Barka and Al-Nagara region in Al- Hammar Marsh, South Iraq. Remarks on the taxonomy notes 6 species a monthly density each recorded during study period Feb-2006 to Jan-2007.The highest value total was 2.78 ind /l May -2006, whereas lowest 0.01 reported March-2006.

To determine the composition and abundance of zooplankton assemblages in Eğirdir Lake-Turkey, monthly surveys were conducted from January to December 2010 at four stations. A total of 65 major zooplankton species were identified. Rotifera was the most abundant taxon dominated mainly by the species Polyarthra dolichoptera and Keratella cochlearis. Rotifers were recorded at the maximum abundance ...

The XI International Rotifer Symposium was held during 11-18 March, 2006 at the National Autonomous University of Mexico Campus Iztacala located at the North Mexico City (Mexico). These triennial international meetings, first organized in Austria by Late Ruttner-Kolisko in September 1976, are gradually becoming the focal point of discussion and collaboration from rotifer workers across the worl...

In kinetoplastids, Euglena, and four metazoan phyla, trans-splicing has been described as a mechanism for the generation of mature messenger RNAs (mRNAs): 5'-ends of precursor mRNAs are replaced by a short spliced leader (SL) exon from a small SL RNA. Although the full phylogenetic range is unknown, trans-splicing has not been found in vertebrates, insects, plants, or yeast. In animal groups wh...
