This project investigates the role of bacteria attached to rotifers in freshwater ecosystems. It aims to quantify how these bacteria contribute to carbon transfer in food webs and their potential to spread pathogens through zooplankton movement.
Non-trophic species interactions such as epibiosis are poorly studied and their impact on food web properties not easily quantified.
Using rotifers and their attached bacteria, this project analyses two hypotheses on epibiosis in freshwater systems. (1) Epibiont-derived organic carbon is transported to the predators together with the host and forms a shortcut through the food web from dissolved organic carbon to higher predators. (2) Potentially pathogenic bacteria can attach to zooplankton and…
