My Volvox culture has finally decided that Winter has arrived.
Yesterday found my 1st colony with the characteristic bright orange zygotes; described (for V. globator)
HERE AS
"These are fertilised egg cells, the zygotes, of Volvox globator.
After fertilisation the egg cells form a hard protective layer.
Zygotes are able to withstand harsh conditions and will survive a winter.
These zygotes make it easy to distinquish Volvox globator from
Volvox aureus. Volvox aureus has zygotes with a smooth surface.
The zygotes of Volvox globator are star-like. "

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
