    Floodplain biodiversity: why are there so many species? (1998)
    Springer
    Hydrobiologia 387-388 (1998), S. 39-46 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-5117
    Keywords: Rotifera ; floodplain ; ephemeral waters ; species diversity ; habitat partitioning ; opportunism ; food webs ; predation ; Copepoda
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Spring surveys of 112 temporary floodplain waters on River Murray tributaries demonstrated a heterogeneous habitat series, with ca. 500 species of microfauna encountered. Rotifers comprised the most diverse group (〉250 taxa), however mean diversity was low (10.93 ± 7.5), in part reflecting predation by copepods and macroinvertebrates. Notably, only 10 rotifer species could be considered widespread in the study area. Ephemeral pool microfaunal communities were distinct from those of adjacent permanent billabongs; their community variability is seen as a function of, or response to, habitat heterogeneity. The significance of high species diversity in ephemeral waters is considered in the context of age of the Murray-Darling Basin, which has persisted in its present location since the breakup of Gondwana, 〉65 MY BP.

    Trans-Tasman variation in Australasian Filinia populations (1993)
    Springer
    Hydrobiologia 255-256 (1993), S. 455-462 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-5117
    Keywords: Rotifera ; Filinia ; Australia ; New Zealand ; taxonomy ; morphology ; trophi SEM

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Morphological comparisons of populations of Filinia from New Zealand and Australia established the presence of an undescribed species in Lake Okaro, N.Z. Filinia novaezealandiae n. sp. is described. SEM micrographs of trophi were used to distinguish closely allied Filinia species. Filinia grandis comb. nov. is redescribed from Australia on the basis of trophi differences from F. pejleri. It is suggested that Filinia species may be more restricted than global records indicate; these records reflect the distribution of authoritative taxonomic references, not necessarily the animals they depict.

    Tasmanian rotifera: Affinities with the Australian fauna (1987)
    Springer
    Hydrobiologia 147 (1987), S. 31-43 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-5117
    Keywords: Rotifera ; Tasmania ; new species ; biogeography
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Plankton was collected from more than 100 lentic and lotic habitats in Tasmania. Of the 131 rotifer taxa identified, 126 are first records for the island, and 9 are first records for Australia. Three new species, Aspelta tilba, sp. nov., Lepadella tyleri sp. nov., and Testudinella unicornuta sp. nov. are described and figured. Horaëlla brehmi, which has a disjunct distribution (equatorial regions and southeastern Australia), also occurs in Tasmanian waters. The morphology and development of this rare species are discussed. Geographical affinities of the Tasmanian assemblage are considered. There appears to be a significant tropical component in the Tasmanian Rotifera.
