Temporal structure ofthe peritrich ciliate assemblage in a large Neotropical lake.

Similar seasonal patterns have been reported with other symbiotic crustacean ciliates including the blue crab-associated peritrich ciliate Lagenophrys callinectes in Maryland Bay and the Gulf of Mexico (Couch 1983, Arias 2013).

Extremely high copy numbers and polymorphisms of the rDNA operon estimated from single cell analysis of oligotrich and peritrich ciliates.

The effect of peritrich ciliates on the production of Acartia hundsonica in Long Island Sound.

Using the descriptive myonemal fiber system developed for another peritrich ciliate Campanella umbellaria (Shi et al.

Peritrich colonies with a maximum of five or six branches were observed attached to the venter of the extended nasale, on the mouthparts, ventrally at the union of the cranium and prothorax, and on the seventh abdominal segment.

The current paper partly aims to fulfill this gap of knowledge by studying the influence of peritrich ciliates as epibionts on mesozooplankton in the Gulf of Riga.

This photographically well-documented research report describes the development of an unusual telotroch (the free-swimming, re-colonizing stage) from a zooid that was broken-off from a spasmoneme-bearing, colonial, contractile, stalked Peritrich protozooan.

Crustaceans and molluscs commonly serve as substrata for sessile peritrich ciliates, and several previous studies have focussed on these relationships.

The peritrich ciliate Zoothamnium intermedium Precht, 1935 was found as epibiont on the calanoid copepods Acartia tonsa Dana, 1848 and Eurytemora affinis (Poppe, 1880) in Chesapeake Bay, USA.
