culture conditions might differ.
- Increased food abundance increases egg number but does not change diameter nor
generation time ([[Troedsson and coll., 2002|biblio/10.3354_meps243083]]).
+ - Colchicine treatment induced early differenciation of the oocytes
+ ([[Ganot, Kallesøe, Thompson (2007)|biblio/17123503]]).
+ - Telomeres are localised at the nuclear envelope and do not overlap with nuclear
+ pore complexes in early meiotic oocytes before H3S10 phosphorylation. In nurse
+ cells at a later stage of oocyte development, the telomeres localise in silent
+ chromatin at the nuclear periphery ([[Ganot, Kallesøe, Thompson (2007)|biblio/17123503]]).
- The _Oikopleura_ CNS possesses homologs of the vertebrate forebrain,
hindbrain, and spinal cord, but not the midbrain. No expression of
_pax2/5/8_ is detected between the _otxa_ + _otxb_ and the _hox1_ territories.
