Annotated checklist of the rotifers (Phylum Rotifera), with notes on nomenclature, taxonomy and distribution
TLDR
An annotated checklist of the Rotifera is presented, giving the global distribution of the valid species and describing features of an on-line, global names database of the taxon, on which this checklist is based.

The Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment: an overview of the results
TLDR
The diversity and distribution of vertebrates, insects, crustaceans, molluscs and a suite of minor phyla is compared and commented upon and it is shown that data are deficient for many other groups.

Rotifera of some lakes in the floodplain of the River Niger (Imo State, Nigeria)
TLDR
Two lakes (Iyi-Efi and Oguta), with 136 and 124 species on record, rank among the richest rotifer environments ever studied, and it is hypothesized that (sub)tropical floodplains are the world's richest habitats for rotifers.

Fifteen species in one: deciphering the Brachionus plicatilis species complex (Rotifera, Monogononta) through DNA taxonomy
TLDR
A dataset of previously available and newly generated sequences of COI and ITS1 for 1273 isolates of the Brachionus plicatilis complex is collated and used to explore phylogenetic signal in morphometric and ecological traits, and to understand correlation among the traits using phylogenetic comparative models.

New Species in the Old World: Europe as a Frontier in Biodiversity Exploration, a Test Bed for 21st Century Taxonomy
TLDR
It is shown that contrary to general belief, developed and heavily-studied parts of the world are important reservoirs of unknown species, and the importance of developing a system that better supports and guides this formidable workforce as they seek to overcome the Taxonomic Impediment and speed up the process of describing the planetary biodiversity before it is too late.
