Scientists Successfully Revive a 24,000-Year-Old Rotifer from Siberian Permafrost

Researchers have revived a 24,000-year-old rotifer from Siberia’s permafrost, demonstrating that multicellular animals can survive for tens of thousands of years in a state of near-complete metabolic…

Once my camera adapter had arrived I went to collect some dirty water from a puddle. It's winter here, so it was frozen over, but even then, there was an absolute huge amount of life in there.
All following posts came from the same sample.

First off is a #Rotifer digging through some decomposing algae.

If you live in the US and want a sample of my plankton stickers, pm me or comment below! Currently writing a grant to have tons of different species available for workshops (right now just have 3). The stickers are white on clear so best in a dark background. #SciArt #plankton #microscopy #rotifer

Be the sea and discover that even rotifers have dreams. This one wants to be a ballerina (or possibly Betty Boop).

#Zooplankton in #ocean and freshwater are rapidly escalating the global environmental threat of #plastics, finds study
#rotifers, a kind of microscopic zooplankton common in fresh and ocean water around world, are able to chew apart #microplastics, breaking them down into even smaller, and potentially more dangerous, #nanoplastics—particles smaller than one micron. Each #rotifer can create between 348,000–366,000 per day, leading to uncountable swarms of nanoparticles. https://phys.org/news/2023-11-zooplankton-ocean-freshwater-rapidly-escalating.html

Zooplankton in ocean and freshwater are rapidly escalating the global environmental threat of plastics, finds study

A collaborative research team lead by the University of Massachusetts Amherst has recently revealed that rotifers, a kind of microscopic zooplankton common in both fresh and ocean water around the world, are able to chew apart microplastics, breaking them down into even smaller, and potentially more dangerous, nanoplastics—or particles smaller than one micron. Each rotifer can create between 348,000–366,000 per day, leading to uncountable swarms of nanoparticles in our environment.
