Morphological and morphometrical variations of selected rotifer species in response to predation : a seasonal study of selected brachionid species from Lake Xochimilco (Mexico)

We observed different morphotypes of some species in the family Brachionidae from the seasonal plankton samples of Lake Xochimilco collected during 2002-2003. We measured the body length, width, and spine lengths (posterior and anterior spines) of Brachionus havanaensis, Keratella americana, K. coch...
