Line 92: Pourriota  >  Pourriotia

Lines 97-99: Monakov (1976) not in References. I suppose Monakov (2003) is the English translation, although this is not mentioned in the book. Rephrase lines 97-99 and replace 1976 by 2003 throughout text?

Author Response

We thank reviewer#2 for his/her time and effort to review our manuscript and are happy about the positive evaluation.

Reviewer 3 Report

The authors analyzed a significant number of publications concerning the morphology, biology and ecology of 138 genera of Rotifera. This research contributes to such a modern direction of ecology as  trait-based ecology. An assessment of the impact of various factors on changes in functional indicators in ecosystems is in the process of development.Therefore, each attempt to classify individual groups of organisms is very important.
