Ultrastructural variations in the spermiogenesis of Triatoma infestans induced by temperature changes.

abstract：:A large sample of embryological material of the North American paddlefish Polyodon spathula (Acipenseriformes: Polyodontidae) confirms that early development in Polyodon is very similar to that reported for the sister group of Polyodontidae, the sturgeons (Acipenseridae). Polyodon illustrates many basic aspects of aci...
