Adineta Explained

Adineta is a genus of rotifers belonging to the family Adinetidae.^[1]

The species of this genus are found in Europe, Northern America, Australia and southernmost Southern Hemisphere.

Adineta vaga meiosis

Until recently, it was considered that the reproductive mode of bdelloid rotifers is mitotic parthenogenesis.^[2] However, recent research with Adineta vaga now supports a meiotic derived oogenesis with an altered meiosis I stage.^[2] During this stage homologous chromosomes associate, likely undergo recombinational repair of DNA damage and then separate, but do not segregate into haploid nuclei.^[2]
