Habrotrocha Rosa
''Habrotrocha rosa'' is a Bdelloidea, bdelloid rotifer that has been found in leaf litter, soil, and moss in Europe and New Zealand and also in North America within the pitchers of ''Sarracenia purpurea'', the purple pitcher plant. It is one of many species that make up the inquiline community that thrives within the water-retaining pitcher-shaped leaves of ''S. purpurea''.Bateman, L. E. (1987).

Bdelloidea
Bdelloidea (Greek ''βδέλλα'', ''bdella'', "leech") is a class of rotifers found in freshwater habitats all over the world. There are over 450 described species of bdelloid rotifers (or 'bdelloids'), distinguished from each other mainly on the basis of morphology. The main characteristics that distinguish bdelloids from related groups of rotifers are exclusively parthenogenetic reproduction and the ability to survive in dry, harsh environments by entering a state of desiccation-induced dormancy (anhydrobiosis) at any life stage. They are often referred to as "ancient asexuals" due to their unique asexual history that spans back to over 25 million years ago through fossil evidence. Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic organisms, typically between 150 and 700 µm in length. Most are slightly too small to be seen with the naked eye, but appear as tiny white dots through even a weak hand lens, especially in bright light. In June 2021, biologists reported the restoration ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
David Lawrence Bryce
David Lawrence Bryce FRSE (1852-1934) was a Scottish marine zoologist and specialist in Rotifera. Life He was born in Edinburgh in 1852 and educated at the Royal High School. Whilst still in his teens he left Edinburgh in 1871 and went to London where he became a businessman. He was credited with building his own microscope and became a member of Hackney Microscopical Society in 1884, and the Quekett Microscopical Club in 1892. Microscopes enabled him to explore the world of Rotifera and Bdelloida and he became an expert in this field. The article on Rotifers in the Encyclopædia Britannica bears his initials. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1927, his proposer being Sir David Prain. He died on 26 October 1934 at Ascension Vicarage in Plumstead Plumstead is an area in southeast London, within the Royal Borough of Greenwich, England. It is located east of Woolwich. History Until 1965, Plumstead was in the historic county of Kent and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rotifer
The rotifers (, from the Latin , "wheel", and , "bearing"), commonly called wheel animals or wheel animalcules, make up a phylum (Rotifera ) of microscopic and near-microscopic pseudocoelomate animals. They were first described by Rev. John Harris in 1696, and other forms were described by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1703. Most rotifers are around long (although their size can range from to over ), and are common in freshwater environments throughout the world with a few saltwater species. Some rotifers are free swimming and truly planktonic, others move by inchworming along a substrate, and some are sessile, living inside tubes or gelatinous holdfasts that are attached to a substrate. About 25 species are colonial (e.g., ''Sinantherina semibullata''), either sessile or planktonic. Rotifers are an important part of the freshwater zooplankton, being a major foodsource and with many species also contributing to the decomposition of soil organic matter. Most species of the r ...
