Notommatidae is a family of rotifers in the order Ploima. [2]
The rotifers, commonly called wheel animals or wheel animalcules, make up a phylum of microscopic and near-microscopic pseudocoelomate animals.
Monogononta is a class of rotifers, found mostly in freshwater but also in soil and marine environments. They include both free-swimming and sessile forms. Monogononts generally have a reduced corona, and each individual has a single gonad, which gives the group its name. Males are generally smaller than females, and are produced only during certain times of the year, with females otherwise reproducing through parthenogenesis.
Neritidae, common name the nerites, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized saltwater and freshwater snails which have a gill and a distinctive operculum. The family Neritidae includes marine genera such as Nerita, marine and freshwater genera such as Neritina, and freshwater and brackish water genera such as Theodoxus.
Brachionus is a genus of planktonic rotifers occurring in freshwater, alkaline and brackish water.
Odostomia is the most speciose genus of minute sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks. This genus is placed in the family Pyramidellidae in the subfamily Odostomiinae. There are several hundred species in this diverse genus
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms.
Protoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turritellidae.
Brachionus calyciflorus is a planktonic rotifer species occurring in freshwater. It is commonly used as a model organism in toxicology, ecology and evolutionary biology.
Its advantages include the small size and short generation time.
Keratella cochlearis is a rotifer. The planktonic animal occurs worldwide in freshwater and marine habitats.
Ploima is an order of rotifers, microscopic invertebrates found in marine and freshwater habitats.
Lepidodermella squamata is a freshwater species of minute worm in the phylum Gastrotricha.
Cephalodella is a genus of rotifers in the family Notommatidae.
Chiridota is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Chiridotidae. It is an extant genus but some fossil species are known.
Echiniscoidea is an order of tardigrades, a phylum of water-dwelling, eight-legged, segmented micro-animals. It was first described by Richters in 1926.
Parasphaerasclera is a genus of soft coral. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Parasphaerascleridae.
Gastropus is a genus of rotifers belonging to the family Gastropodidae.
Ascomorpha is a genus of rotifers belonging to the family Gastropodidae.
Gastropodidae is a family of rotifers belonging to the order Ploima.
Asplanchna brightwellii are a species of rotifer from the genus Asplanchna. They are known to inhabit eutrophic water. The sac-like freshwater rotifier is known to eat cladocerans, protozoans, and other rotifers. A. brightwelli are relatively large for rotifiers, transparent and ovoviviparous which makes the species ideal for morphological studies.
