Microzooplankton play an important connecting role in the aquatic food webs. During our bimonthly time series observation on microzooplankton ecology and dynamics in the estuarine waters of Kochi, Southwest coast of India, dense swarming of Tintinnopsis

Owing to the environmental sensitivity of ciliate species, the monitoring and assessment of these communities can indicate the health of the aquatic environment. Sampling for loricate ciliates was carried out during different seasons at three different

Background: The taxonomy of tintinnine ciliates is vastly unresolved because it has traditionally been based on the lorica (a secreted shell) and it has only recently incorporated cytological and molecular information. Tintinnopsis, the most speciose
