Abstract
Recent studies on morphology and genetics of marine rotifer populations have demonstrated the existence of considerable variation. Differences in the glycoprotein structure of a mate recognition pheromone (MRP) probably have a primary role in maintaining species boundaries among Brachionus species. This study examined factors involved in mating to clarify their relation with genetic variability. Three experiments were performed using 3 Brachionus plicatilis strains (Russia, Germany and Tokyo) and 4 B. rotundiformis strains (Hamana, Fiji, Thai and Spain).
