Second Circular XI International Symposium on Rotifera
Sponsored by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Campus Iztacala March 11-18, 2006 Mexico City, Mexico Rotifers are small (<1 mm) but beautiful invertebrates, harmless to mankind. Their use as model organisms in teaching courses of biology, as a scandalous group in evolutionary ecology, as baby food in aquaculture and as sensitive indicators of water quality has been widely recognized. The tradition of a periodic meeting of the international rotifer workers initiated by the late Agnes Ruttner- Kolisko has had a stimulatory influence on Rotifer Research. So far nine countries have hosted these symposia (Austria (twice), Belgium, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, USA and Thailand). The present XI International Rotifer Symposium will be hosted by Mexico under the auspices of the Campus Iztacala of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. It provides an opportunity to interact with an international community of researchers on various aspects of Rotifera. We therefore cordially invite you to participate in this symposium.
