Hidrobiológica 23 (1): 82-86. ABSTRACT Acute toxicity tests of five metals (aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, zinc) were performed to determine LC50 values in two species of freshwater rotifers: Asplanchna brigthwellii and its prey Brachionus calyciflorus. We conducted the tests using neonates less than 24 hr-old, each test consisted of five replicates, negative control and five metal concentrations (Al, Cd, Fe, Pb, Zn). We found that the prey rotifer B. calyciflorus was more sensitive to Al, Cd, Pb and Fe than the predator rotifer A. brightwellii. For both rotifers Cd was the most toxic of the five metals. It was established that the strain of B. ca- lyciflorus studied is sensitive when compared with other B. calyciflorus strains and other species and genera of the family Brachionidae. In the other hand, LC50 values of A. brigthwellii are compared with rotifer and copepod predators. Key words: Acute toxicity, aquatic toxicology, LC50, metal toxicity, trophic interactions.

The distribution records of K. bostoniensis were mainly located in the Nearctic, Neotropic and Western Palearctic regions. After Japan, this is the second record of it in Asia. Trichocerca tenuior and Lepadella triptera have already been recorded in Korea, but the data of two species were insufficient in previous study. Here, we describe the morphological characteristics of the three species and the trophi structures of K. bostoniensis and T. tenuior. This study is the first to characterize the trophi structure of K. bostoniensis, observed using a scanning electron microscope. In addition, we have determined the partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and 18S rRNA gene sequences of T. tenuior and L. triptera for their DNA barcodes.

The Rotifers of Spanish Reservoirs: Ecological, Systematical and Zoogeographical Remarks
91 THE ROTIFERS OF SPANISH RESERVOIRS: ECOLOGICAL, SYSTEMATICAL AND ZOOGEOGRAPHICAL REMARKS Jordi de Manuel Barrabin Departament d'Ecologia, Universitat de Barcelona. Avd. Diagonal 645,08028 Barcelona. Spain,[email protected] ABSTRACT This article covers the rotifer data from a 1987/1988 survey of one hundred Spanish reservoirs. From each species brief infor- mation is given, focused mainly on ecology, morphology, zoogeography and distribution both in Spain and within reservoirs. New autoecological information on each species is also established giving conductivity ranges, alkalinity, pH and temperature for each. Original drawings and photographs obtained on both optical and electronic microscopy are shown of the majority of the species found. In total one hundred and ten taxa were identified, belonging to 101 species, representing 20 families: Epiphanidae (1): Brachionidae (23); Euchlanidae (1); Mytilinidae (1 ): Trichotriidae (3): Colurellidae (8); Lecanidae (1 5); Proalidae (2); Lindiidae (1); Notommatidae (5); Trichocercidae (7); Gastropodidae (5); Synchaetidae (1 1); Asplanchnidae (3); Testudinellidae (3); Conochiliidae (5):Hexarthridae (2); Filiniidae (3); Collothecidae (2); Philodinidae (Bdelloidea) (I).

Rotifer Species Diversity in Mexico: an Updated Checklist

Nandini 1 1 Laboratory of Aquatic Zoology, FES Iztacala, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Av. de Los Barrios No. 1, Tlalnepantla 54090, Mexico; [email protected] 2 Posgrado en Ciencias del Mar y Limnología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City 04510, Mexico; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +52-55-56231256 Abstract: A review of the Mexican rotifer species diversity is presented here. To date, 402 species of rotifers have been recorded from Mexico, besides a few infraspecific taxa such as subspecies and varieties. The rotifers from Mexico represent 27 families and 75 genera. Molecular analysis showed about 20 cryptic taxa from species complexes. The genera Lecane, Trichocerca, Brachionus, Lepadella, Cephalodella, Keratella, Ptygura, and Notommata accounted for more than 50% of all species recorded from the Mexican territory. The diversity of rotifers from the different states of Mexico was highly heterogeneous. Only five federal entities (the State of Mexico, Michoacán, Veracruz, Mexico City, Aguascalientes, and Quintana Roo) had more than 100 species. Extrapolation of rotifer species recorded from Mexico indicated the possible occurrence of more than 600 species in Mexican water bodies, hence more sampling effort is needed. In the current review, we also comment on the importance of seasonal sampling in enhancing the species richness and detecting exotic rotifer taxa in Mexico.

Thirteen species of Lecanidae were identified, 6 of which are new records for Iran. The new records include Lecane flexilis (Gosse 1886), L. hamata (Stokes 1896), L. hastata (Murray 1913), L. lamellata (Daday 1893), L. papuana (Murray 1913), and L. punctata (Murray 1913). Drawings are provided, and both the seasonal and spatial distributions of the identified taxa are discussed. A brief comparison is made between the present study’s results and those reported from Turkey.

They are diagnosed first to report rotifer taxa from Iran, including 15 by the structure of the foot and of the trophy in the species of Lecane.
