peer reviewed / Rotifers are ubiquitous aquatic organisms which form one of the most populous zooplankton classes. Their efficient grazing of phytoplankton and high reproduction and turnover rates enable rapid nutrient cycling which feeds the upper levels of the food chain, making them a vital element of aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, their small...
Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are organic alkane formulations that are released in the environment by industrial processes and electronic waste. They are widely dispersed by wind and water, and therefore have been found in numerous ecosystems and organisms worldwide, where they are not readily biodegradable. This long environmental half...
