WELCOME TO THE HOMEPAGE OF RÜDIGER RUDOLF

This site contains micrographs, short videos, species descriptions, and detailed information on several groups of the aquatic animal life. Two of these - the cladocerans and the rotiferans - undergo a special life cycle, alternating between sexual and asexual reproduction, the so called heterogony. As such, some extra information on this aspect of biology is also provided. If you are interested in any of these topics, simply click on the corresponding links.
