Excerpt from Exuviation, Autotomy and Regeneration in Ceratium, And, Notes on Some Obscure Species of Ceratium
The term ecdysis or cytecdysis will be applied to the process of shedding the entire cell wall at one time and usually in a single piece, in two pieces or in a more or less intact condition. The removal of the wall, plate by plate or in groups of plates of small extent may, on the other hand, be designated as exuviation or cytexuviation. In the first case the cell contents withdraw bodily from the theca, while in the other the cell wall is cast ofi in parts and with the resulting temporary combination of new and old skeletal parts on one individual.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the unique phenomena of exuviation, autotomy, and regeneration, particularly as exhibited by the planktonic organism Ceratium. The author presents numerous observations and data from microscopic examinations of Ceratium, providing insights into the organism's adaptations to its pelagic habitat. The book discusses the correlation between Ceratium's structural modifications and its need to regulate otation and maintain optimal positioning within the water column. The author suggests that exuviation and autotomy may be mechanisms through which Ceratium sheds heavy skeletal material and adjusts its specic gravity and surface area in response to changing environmental conditions. Regeneration, independent of autotomy, is also examined, demonstrating Ceratium's capacity to extend the length of its horns without prior injury. This book contributes to the understanding of Ceratium's biology and highlights the organism's remarkable adaptations to its dynamic marine environment.
