“the tails beat slowly when the suspended particles were numerous and rapidly
when they were few”.
+ - The master thesis of [[E. Spriet (1997)|biblio/1956_17226]] provides high-resolution
+ pictures of nuclar stains of the oikoblastic epithelium for _O.labradoriensis_,
+ _O. vanhoeffeni_, _O. dioica_, _O. villafrancae_ and _O. albicans_. The complexity
+ of nuclear ramifications varies between species. (Interstingly, it might correlate
+ with genome size).
- The food collecting filter in the house was described as a “self-cleaning
filter” by [[Conley and coll., 2017|biblio/10.1002_lno.10680]], who observed
its expansion and contraction at high spatial and temporal resolution.
