The database comprires >45 000 published records of identified rotifer species in the world from 1960 to 1992, reported in 1871 papers listed in De Ridder and Segers (1997) and in the references cited by De Ridder (1986, 1991, 1994) for the same time period. These reviews gathered all the published taxonomic, faunistic and ecological studies reporting monogonont rotifers. Records older than 1960 were not considered because of potential taxonomic problems with unstable nomenclature in the past, whereas records after 1992 have not yet been gathered in any formal review. Rotifer species described before 1960 and never found again and rotifer species described after 1992 are not included in our dataset. Thus, the number of listed species is lower than the 1500 species currently known. The electronic database produced from this literature review is provided as Supplementary material (Appendix 1), and is also made freely available on the website of the Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment (FADA, Balian et al. 2008: < http://fada.biodiversity.be/group/show/4>). This is the first time that a database of worldwide distribution records is available for any group of microorganisms, and we hope that the database will be useful for further research.
