Overview

Georeferenced data reveals new occurrences of rotifers in European waterbodies, suggesting deeper ecological insights.

Key Points

  • To provide new georeferenced data on the occurrences and biodiversity of rotifers in various European aquatic ecosystems.
  • Conducted surveys of 25 protected areas from 1976 to 2021.
  • Collected data from major types of waterbodies: lotic, lentic, and transitional.
  • Focused on less studied rotifer communities, including periphytic and benthic species.
  • Added 4,862 new occurrences of Phylum Rotifera to GBIF.
  • Identified and documented 1,514 new occurrences of bdelloid rotifers.
  • Recorded new species for Ukraine, including Lecane elsa, Lindia pallida, and Paradicranophorus aculeatus.
