}}Brachionus calyciflorus is a planktonic rotifer species occurring in freshwater. It is commonly used as a model organism in toxicology, ecology and evolutionary biology.

Its advantages include the small size and short generation time (average generation time of B. calyciflorus is around 2.2 days at 24 °C).

Reproduction

B. calyciflorus normally reproduces by cyclical parthenogenesis.[1]

Transitions to obligate parthenogenesis have been described. Obligate parthenogens were homozygous for a recessive allele, which caused inability to respond to the chemical signals that normally induce sexual reproduction in this species.[2]

Species complex

Like the Brachionus plicatilis cryptic species complex Brachionus calyciflorus seems also to be a species complex consisting of more than one species.[3][4]
