Naturally occurring diblastodermic eggs in the annual fish Cynolebias: Implications for developmental regulation and determination.

abstract：:A morphological comparison of the spermatozoa of the octopods Bathypolypus bairdii and B. sponsalis has been carried out by electron microscopy. Although the mature spermatozoon of B. bairdii is longer and thinner than that of B. sponsalis, its general ultrastructure is similar except for some minor differences. Their...
