Open AccessRotifer-heliozoan interactions: a population growth study
We quantified the population growth of the predatory heliozoan Actinosphaerium eichhornii fed separately four rotifer prey (Anuraeopsis fissa, Brachionus calyciflorus, Brachionus havanaensis and Plationus patulus

Open AccessCombined effects of microplastics and temperature on the competition between Brachionus havanaensis and Brachionus calyciflorus (Rotifera)
Aquatic organisms are constantly exposed to effluents which often contain microplastics. Microplastics adversely affect aquatic organisms as a result of mechanical damage during ingestion or intoxication by ch...

Indirect effects of invasive and native predatory copepods (Mesocyclops pehpeiensis Hu and M. longisetus curvatus Dussart) on the population growth of brachionid rotifers
We quantified the effect of two cyclopoids, an invasive (Mesocyclops pehpeiensis) and a native (Mesocyclops longisetus curvatus) species on the population growth of the rotifers Brachionus havanaensis and Brachio...

Open AccessBehavioral and demographic responses of the predatory rotifer Asplanchna sieboldii (Leydig, 1854) fed prey (Plationus patulus (Müller, 1786)) previously exposed to cadmium and microplastics
We quantified the feeding behavior (encounter, attack, capture and ingestion) and demographic parameters (survival and reproduction) of the predatory rotifer Asplanchna sieboldii fed on the prey Plationus patulus

Lung parenchyma segmentation and nodule detection using deep learning
Lung parenchyma segmentation is important for increasing the efficiency of identifying lung nodules in computed tomography (CT) images. Conventionally, the two processes are carried out separately. This resear...

Seasonal dynamics of phenolic substances from the macrophyte Myriophyllum aquaticum and their allelopathic effects on the growth and reproduction of Plationus patulus (Rotifera: Brachionidae)
We studied temporal variations in phenolic compounds from the hydrophyte Myriophyllum aquaticum collected from a shallow lake. The effects of macrophyte-conditioned medium containing phenols with other compounds ...

Demography of Hexarthra jenkinae (de Beauchamp) (Rotifera) from ephemeral and permanent habitats of the shallow waterbody Lake Texcoco (Mexico)
Life history strategies of rotifers vary in relation to their habitats. We compared the demography of Hexarthra jenkinae (de Beauchamp, 1932) from ephemeral pools and the large, permanent Nabor Carrillo Lake, bot...

Allelopathic effects of male and female calanoids and cyclopoids (Copepoda) on the demographic response of Brachionus havanaensis (Rotifera)
We hypothesized that cyclopoids, being predators, have a stronger allelopathic influence than calanoids on life-history variables of herbivorous rotifers. To test this hypothesis, we quantified the allelopathi...

Lifetime Aware Secure Data Aggregation through Integrated Incentive-based Mechanism in IoT-based WSN Environment
Internet of things grabbed fine attention by researchers due to wide range of applicability in daily human life-based application like healthcare, agriculture, and so on. WSN possesses a restricted environment...

A meta-analysis of benthic rotifer community structure as a function of lake trophic state
Our understanding of the ecological drivers that control community structure of benthic rotifers is poorly known. By reviewing 21 papers on freshwater benthic rotifers we compiled an inventory of an additional...

Strain-related differences in bacterivory and demography of Diaphanosoma mongolianum (Cladocera) in relation to diet and previous exposure to cyanobacteria in nature
We compared the demographic variables and bacterivory of two strains of Diaphanosoma mongolianum from two water bodies in Spain, one without Microcystis (Maidevera in Zaragoza) and the other with dense Microcysti...

Population growth, demography and competition studies on Dipleuchlanis propatula (Gosse, 1886) (Rotifera: Euchlanidae)
We tested the effect of different food (Chlorella vulgaris) concentrations on the population growth and demographic variables of Dipleuchlanis propatula. In addition, we also tested the effect of competition from...

Fish-mediated zooplankton community structure in shallow turbid waters: a mesocosm study
Turbidity influences the success of fish feeding, but little is known about the difference in the effects of turbidity as a result of organic and inorganic matter. To assess the feeding behaviour of a native f...

Comparative population dynamics of six brachionid rotifers (Rotifera) fed seston from a hypertrophic, high altitude shallow waterbody from Mexico
In hypertrophic waterbodies, seston may be an important food for planktonic rotifers. Therefore, we hypothesized that seston in the hypertrophic waterbody (Lake Xochimilco, State of Mexico) supports high diver...

Effects of cladoceran-conditioned medium on the demography of brachionid rotifers (Rotifera: Brachionidae)
Rotifers and cladocerans compete for resources in freshwater ecosystems. Cladocerans, due to their large size, are competitively superior to rotifers. Cladocerans also release secondary metabolites into the me...

Effect of temperature, food quality and quantity on the feeding behavior of Simocephalus mixtus and Hyalella azteca: implications for biomanipulation
Increasing temperatures in aquatic ecosystems have resulted in changes in the proliferation patterns and persistence of cyanobacteria, particularly Microcystis sp.. In temperate lakes, large-sized herbivores such...
