Abstract. Rotifera and Acanthocephala are generally regarded as separate phyla sharing a basal position among triploblast protostomes. This paper presents the first molecular phylogenetic examination of the relationship of Acanthocephala to all three rotifer classes, Seisonidea, Monogononta, and Bdelloidea. Inclusion of Acanthocephala within Rotifera, probably as a sister‐taxon to a clade composed of Bdelloidea and Monogononta (the Eurotatoria), is strongly supported by both parsimony and distance methods, using a region of the nuclear coding gene hsp82. Previous molecular evidence for the inclusion of Acanthocephala in the Rotifera suggested that Acanthocephala is a sister‐taxon of Bdelloidea, forming the clade Lemniscea. No support is found for this clade, and evidence is presented that the monogonont rotifer used in those analyses, Brachionus plicatilis, may be evolving in an anomalous manner.

“…rotundiformis was remarkable in the southern part of Shadegan Lagoon. Like Rong et al (1998), we ascribe the high abundance of those 2 euryhaline species (Kotani et al 2005) to the high salinity of their habitats, which itself was a result of the arid climate of the region and the connection of the lagoon, through its southern part, to the Persian Gulf.…”

Until the present study, 156 rotifer species had been recorded from different parts of Iran. The present study was designed to fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge on rotifer fauna of Iran and to analyze the geographical data of rotifer records from this area. Given the location of the study on the corner of the Palearctic, we also wanted to understand the influence of neighboring zoogeographical regions on both Khuzestan and the rest of Iran, i.e. the Palearctic.Khuzestan Province, our study area, is situated in the subtropical zone of the southwest corner of Iran (Figure 1) where the province and its freshwater systems, which

“…Among them, B. asplanchnoides is a rare species worldwide; consequently, its distribution and habitat preference is largely unknown. Kutikova () reported this species near to Rostock (Germany) and Krasnodar (southwestern Russia), and further occurrences are known from Mongolian salt lakes (Rong et al ). Terek () recorded its occurrence in Europe (Slovakia), but according to Jersabek and Bolortsetseg (), this data is unsure, as this species was found in a freshwater habitat with extremely low content of minerals.…”

Despite the high conservation value of intermittent soda pans, these habitats were mostly targeted by small‐scale studies and little is known about their microscopic fauna. We sampled all the remaining 110 representatives of this habitat type (including recently restored ones) in Europe in an area covering approximately 125 000 km2. We analyzed spring and summer zooplankton species composition including rotifers, copepods, and cladocerans. We found 105 Rotifera, 26 Cladocera, and 26 Copepoda taxa, with local species richness ranging between 1 and 38 taxa. Alpha diversity was comparable in the two main groups (Rotifera, Crustacea), while beta and gamma diversity was higher in rotifers. The most frequently occurring zooplankters were crustaceans, while rotifer taxa were rarer as the most frequent species inhabited less than half of the pans. Dominance of the natronophilic Arctodiaptomus spinosus proved to be a reliable indicator for high quality soda pans. We concluded that the most typical soda pan zooplankton communities developed by early summer, in the concentrated pans, thus we would suggest considering this period as a reference for ecological state monitoring, and especially for evaluating the success of soda pan rehabilitations or reconstructions with the help of zooplankton. Based on these criteria, restorations could be considered only moderately successful.
