Aquatic organisms, ranging from bacteria to fish, living in clear lakes are presently receiving damaging levels of UV radiation. Photoreactivation is a light-dependent mechanism by which some organisms deal with DNA damage caused by UV radiation. Yet, photoreactivation is a mechanism that confounds long-term predictive modeling of UV effects on the survival of these organisms. Here we show that...

Global biodiversity losses provide an immediate impetus to elucidate the relationships between biodiversity, productivity and stability. In this study, we quantified the effects of species richness and species combination on the productivity and stability of phytoplankton communities subject to predation by a single rotifer species. We also tested one mechanism of the insurance hypothesis: whet...

Twenty one genera of zooplankton were studied based on year investigation which 3 belonged to Cladocera (19.22%), 5 Copepoda (36.13%) 12 Rotifera (44.59%) and 1 Ostracoda (0.06%).

The present investigation deals with the comparative study of zooplankton diversity in two different lentic ecosystem Patna, Bihar classified as pristine (Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park) and disturbed (Nalanda medical college hospital) pond which interrelationship between composition community various physiochemical parameters water. was carried out from July to September 2015 three groups taken...

We compared two sampling methods, eDNA metabarcoding and microscope identification (MSI), for the analysis of zooplankton diversity in reservoirs with its inflow outflow streams. The dynamic patterns Cladocera Rotifera at different time points were similar between but there was a slight difference Copepoda. Specifically, members Copepoda subclass could not be easily classified using MSI method,...

A total of 27 taxons, 12 from Rotifera, 1 Cladocera, and 14 Copepoda, were determined in the study, which was conducted by sampling 4 times 29 water wells. 3 families detected Rotifera Lecanidae richest family with 8 species. Among 6 Cyclopoidae had The rotifer species largest distribution areas Lecane closterocerca (found 15 wells), Pleuroxus aduncus, only found 21 wells Kinnecaris xanthi wide...

The present study aimed at evaluating differences in rotifer distribution in three estuarine zones in an inverse estuary located in the Semiarid Region of Brazil. Zones were chosen based on their proximity to the ocean and river border as a means of reflecting a horizontal salinity gradient. High freshwater discharge during the rainy season was the major determinant of rotifer composition. On t...
