Parallelism in the evolution of rotifers

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 14))

Abstract

Parallelism in the evolution of rotifers is revealed in the repeated appearance, reduction, consolidation or enlargement of common structures as well as by left-right handedness. A possible phylogenetic scheme of rotifer evolution is given.
