Biology Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Information on the fauna and distribution of the rotifers of the family Trichocercidae in the Urals is summarized based both on the author’s original research and an analysis of literature sources. Data on their localities, biology, morphology, quantitative development, and indicative properties in the Urals’ water bodies are presented.
