Triclosan (TCS) is an antimicrobial and is an aquatic contaminant. Little is known on aquatic
toxicity of TCS. Rotifers are common members of freshwater zooplankton. In this study …

Classic population regulation theories usually concern the influence of immediate factors on
current populations, but studies investigating the effect of parental environment factors on …

Maternal effects on the induction of defensive morphology are regarded as an adaptive
strategy. For instance, a female can transmit environmental conditions related to predation …

A recent study based on DNA taxonomy indicated that the widespread rotifer Keratella
cochlearis comprises several evolutionarily significant units (ESUs). Identification of ESUs …

Inducible defences reduce the probability of prey being killed by their predators. However,
these defences are often accompanied by costs. Most studies associated with aquatic …

Maternal effects play important evolutionary and ecological roles. Amictic female mothers of
monogonont rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus can transmit predatory information of …

The morphological plasticity of rotifers has been investigated for several decades, and the
maternal effects as an important source of variation in life history traits of rotifers have been …

Maternal effects are one of the most interesting topics in evolutionary ecology as they can
affect the rate of evolution and population dynamics by phenotypic manipulation of offspring …
