Comparative ultrastructure of ant spermatozoa (Formicidae: Hymenoptera).

abstract：:This research was designed to follow up the observation of Thornton and Kraemer ('51) that regressed, denervated limbs of Ambystoma larvae will not regenerate upon reinnervation if all digits on the limbs were not completely resorbed. The object of this experiment was to determine whether the presence of an apical str...
