Dental formula (DF) of bdelloids
What is a dental formula (DF) ?
The following table gives a rough information about the dental formula of the trophi of the genera of bdelloid rotifers. This overview below does not differentiate between dental formulas with different number of major teeth for the two unci, like for example 3/4 or 3/3+1. A click on the grey rectangle shows a list of all species of this genus with the DF of this column.
