✦ Synopsis

Nine species of Rotifera Bdelloidea have been cultured under laboratory conditions . The species were collected from two different environments : one group from water courses, the other from terrestrial mosses . Life tables have been determined and population dynamics parameters have been calculated . The characteristics of the life history seem to be related to the natural environmental conditions of the species . The patterns of reproductive output may develop as adaptations to different selective pressures : species from unpredictable environments face the probability of leaving no young at all, while species from stable environments are less conservative in their energy budget . Life characteristics are discussed from the point of view of adaptive strategies .

Five strains of the species Macrotrachela quadricornifra were cultured under experimental conditions. Four strains were collected from different environments, geographically paired, each pair consisting of an aquatic habitat (strains P and C) and a moss habitat (strains Ml and M2). Another populatio
