7 thoughts on “Coming soon International Rotifer Symposium”
All users are free to send comments on any aspect of rotifer research, including rare personal contacts/conversations with rotifer researchers and ongoing research work on Rotifera.
While the family of rotifer workers was disappointed with the postponement of IRS-16, we are looking forward to meeting again to share our research on these exquisite micro-metazoans.
Dear rotiferians,
Despite studying fossil protozoans as a profession, I have been examining freshwater microbiota
in North Wales for the past six years.
I try to identify all that I see, but have difficulty with the rotifers. My main reference is Pontin (1978) but I understand that this publication is rather out of date regarding the taxonomy.
I have recently found Keratella serrulata with two curved internal anterior spines. I have seen reference to curvicornis but cannot find a description not illustration.
I would appreciate a contact with someone studying British ritifers- I am a member of the Freshwater Biological Association but there are no rotifer specialists now working with the association
Many thanks for any assistance/ leads/ reference paper and book suggestions
Please consult Koste´s (1978) two volumes. Also many identification guides (Series Editor: HJ Dumont) and North American invertebrates (Rotifers By Wallace et al.) are all recent works for your identification.

Hi,
Greetings from Ethiopia….
Its Prof. Sairam Pattnaik from Wolaita Sodo University, SNNPR, Ethiopia. I am an Indian professor working in Ethiopia for more than ten years.
As you know we are blessed with several fresh water lakes, perennial rivers and man made reservoirs, some of them are more than 50kms in their stretch. There are large diversity of aquatic species in these water bodies, mostly either not explored nor not studied properly. There are so many rare and endemic species with abundant plankton fauna, but due to insufficient lab facilities and transport, the researches are incomplete.
If anybody wants to collaborate to do such work with us we are ready to extend our hands, in deed we are need of such people. Hope this message will reach to the appropriate people so that the scientific work in this part of world can be accomplished.
With regards,
Prof. Sairam

Hi Bob
Actually that gives us more time to do the experiments of rotifers. We still have restrictions to enter the lab. due to covid-19.
