Abstract Shallow waters, little-studied in Continental Antarctica, among other micrometazoans host bdelloid rotifers, which diversity, ecology, and distributional patterns turn are poorly known. To address these issues, we analysed plankton samples collected during the 2018/2019 season Thala Hills oasis (East Antarctica), shallow freshwater lakes temporary ponds that formed intense snow melting...

Some water quality parameters (water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and pH) zooplankton fauna were investigated in 10 wells where the study was conducted. In this study, 14 species of Rotifera (46.67%), Copepoda (33.33%), 6 Cladocera (20%) identified. It found that widely distributed Rotaria neptunia (in 7 wells), Keratella quadrata 5 Daphnia curvirostris 8 Coronatella rectangula C...
