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.
