And again, I don't want to talk about consciousness, I want to talk about it just as if it was a little bacteria, or a volvox, which is what that organism is. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Man is the most composite of all creatures; the wheel-insect, volvox globator, is at the other extreme. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Another example of conjugation is that of Pandorina, an alga allied to the well-known volvox. ❋ Various (N/A)
In explaining the facts of reproduction, I would therefore suggest that you should begin with the lowest rung of the ladder, the simplest organisms, such as the amoeba or the volvox. ❋ Ellice Hopkins (N/A)
Just as dangerous, just as self-centred, as in its small way is that vegetative organism the volvox, which, when food is scarce and the race is threatened, against possible need of insemination, creates separate husband cells to starve in clusters, while ` she 'hogs all the food-supply for the production of eggs. ❋ Unknown (1935)
There is a class of wheel-animalcules termed _rotifera_, of which the revolving volvox is one example. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
The revolving volvox likewise increases by growth until it becomes a society of animals, a multiple system of individuals. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
This monad was once supposed to be a single animal, but the microscope shows it to be a group of animals connected by means of six processes, and each little growing volvox exhibits his red-eye speck and two long spines, or horns. ❋ Ray Vaughn Pierce (1877)
There are still to-day some organisms that remain throughout life at the structural stage of the blastula -- hollow vesicles that swim about by a ciliary movement in the water, the wall of which is composed of a single layer of cells, such as the volvox, the magosphaera, synura, etc. ❋ Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1876)
The former I suppose to be beholden to a single living filament for their seminal or amatorial procreation; and the latter to the same cause for their lateral or branching generation, which they possess in common with the polypus, tænia, and volvox, and the simplicity of which is an argument in favour of the similarity of its cause. ❋ Samuel Butler (1868)
Man is the most composite of all creatures: the wheel-insect, volvox globator, is at the other extreme. ❋ Unknown (1850)
One of the most remarkable of these, the volvox globator, has exactly the form of the germ which, after passing through a long foetal progress, becomes a complete mammifer, an animal of the highest class. ❋ Robert Chambers (1836)
One captured the movement of mitochondria in sensory neurons inside a zebra fish larva's tail, while another zooms in on a waterflea-daphnia playing with a volvox, a type of green algae. ❋ RHEANA MURRAY (2012)
The volvox globator is transparent, and carries within itself children and grandchildren to the fifth generation like the aphides; so that the tænia produces children and grandchildren longitudinally in ❋ Unknown (1803)
A similar mode of reproduction by the secretion of two kinds of organic particles from the blood, and by depositing them either internally as in the vernal and summer aphis or volvox, or externally as in the polypus and tænia, probably obtains in those animals; which are thence propagated by the father only, not requiring ❋ Unknown (1803)
The microscopic productions of spontaneous vitality, and the next most inferior kinds of vegetables and animals, propagate by solitary generation only; as the buds and bulbs raised immediately from seeds, the lycoperdon tuber, with probably many other fungi, and the polypus, volvox, and tænia. ❋ Unknown (1803)
Philosophers have thought these viviparous aphides, and the tænia, and volvox, to be females; and have supposed them to have been impregnated long before their nativity within each other; so the tænia and volvox still continue to produce their offspring without sexual intercourse. ❋ Unknown (1803)
Volvox is so cool, I wish I was Volvox or one of his [followers]. I wish Volvox would [love me]. Volvox is [too cool] for people who aren't Volvox. ❋ Volvox (2004)
