It is known that some vertebrate reproductive hormones have effects on rotifer reproduction, but little is known about their effects in combination. This motivated us to examine the effects of waterborne progesterone (P), testosterone (T), and estradiol (E) on reproduction of the rotifer Brachionus
We investigated the nutritional effects of both food quantity and quality on Brachionus plicatilis. Decomposition of particulate and dissolved organic matter by rotifer digestive enzymes play a crucial role in rotifer nutrition. Among other enzymes, rotifers produce phosphatases, non-specific enzyme
