Rotaria rotatoria

In the context of global warming, all organisms are inevitably exposed to temperature stress. However, most studies have primarily focused on organisms that are susceptible to environmental stress, neglecting the examination of rotifers that exhibit resistance to such conditions. Consequently, we hypothesize that stress-tolerant rotifers may possess distinct response characteristics and mechanisms when confronted with thermal stress. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of how bdelloid rotifers respond to thermal stress, this study investigates the transcriptomic responses of stress-tolerant Rotaria rotatoria.
