The species of this genus are found in Europe, Northern America, Australia and southernmost Southern Hemisphere. [1]

Adineta vaga meiosis

Until recently, it was considered that the reproductive mode of bdelloid rotifers is mitotic parthenogenesis. [2] However, recent research with Adineta vaga now supports a meiotic derived oogenesis with an altered meiosis I stage. [2] During this stage homologous chromosomes associate, likely undergo recombinational repair of DNA damage and then separate, but do not segregate into haploid nuclei. [2]
