Description: Information on the sessile rotifer Collotheca with an interesting mouse-over image.
The week after Dave Walker wrote his , the weird sessile rotifer, I discovered the creature in a pond near my home in Rotterdam. It stood on a strand of green algae full of diatoms and . I photographed it in phase contrast since that seemed the easiest way to show both the transparent housing the rotifer lived in as well as the very thin elongated hairs it uses to catch tiny algae and bacteria. Of course there is not much I can add to Dave's excellent article but I thought of a little trick that could provide an extra dimension to depicting microscopic organisms on the Internet.
