Cyclically parthenogenetic rotifers are facultative sexual aquatic microinvertebrates that live
in continental and coastal waters and attracted the scientific interest of Professor MR …

The acute and chronic effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) on the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus (B. calyciflorus) were investigated at the …

Within species, larger offspring typically outperform smaller offspring. While the relationship
between offspring size and performance is ubiquitous, the cause of this relationship remains …

The effects of acute toxicity, 3-day population growth and morphological effects of
perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) with carbon chain lengths of 2–6 on the freshwater …

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 …

Abstract Temperature‐Size Rule (TSR) is a phenotypic body size response of ectotherms to
changing temperature. It is known from the laboratory studies, but seasonal patterns in the …

The strategy of decreasing size with increasing temperature operates at regional and
phenotypic scale and presents a puzzle to researchers. In this work, we studied two aspects …
