Springer Rotifera XII - Developments in Hydrobiology 217

Rotifera XII provides a comprehensive look at the latest scientific findings regarding rotifer evolution, genetics, reproduction, ecology, and biogeography. This volume brings together the most essential original articles from the ROTIFERA XII symposium held in Berlin in August 2009. As common invertebrates, rotifers play a significant role in the food webs of plankton and benthos in lakes and rivers across the globe. This collection explores their ecological success, focusing on their unique reproductive patterns, particularly within the Monogononta group. By covering advances in molecular biology and biochemical methods, this book serves as a vital resource for researchers studying aquatic ecosystems and invertebrate biology. Whether you are examining the role of rotifers in global food webs or studying their genetic makeup, this text offers deep insights into these essential organisms.
