Microanatomy and Development of the Dwarf Male of Symbion pandora (Phylum Cycliophora): New Insights from Ultrastructural Investigation Based on Serial Section Electron Microscopy
Cycliophorans have a complex life cycle that involves several sexual and asexual stages. One of the sexual stages is the 40 μm-long dwarf male, which is among the smallest free-living metazoans. Although the dwarf male has a highly complex body plan, this minute organism is composed of a very low number of somatic cells (~50). The developmental processes that give rise to this unique phenotype ...

Is it also a human curse? Tales about such things as Pandora’s box suggest that it is, but scientific evidence is lacking. In four controlled experiments, we demonstrated that curiosity could lead humans to expose th...
متن کاملA Dwarf Male Reversal in Bone-Eating Worms
Darwin hypothesized that sexes in a species should be similar unless sexual selection, fecundity selection, or resource partitioning has driven them apart. Male dwarfism has evolved multiple times in a range of animals, raising questions about factors that drive such extreme size dimorphism. Ghiselin noted that dwarf males are more common among smaller marine animals, and especially among seden...
متن کاملThe Pandora Protocol Development System
In a joint project with the Netherlands PTT, the Delft University of Technology is developing an interactive protocol design and analysis system named ‘Pandora’. The system provides users with a controlled environment for protocol synthesis and formal analysis, and offers both software and hardware tools for protocol assessment. Pandora can assist the user in the documentation of protocol desig...
