Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of infusoria, microscopic creatures that were once considered the only true examples of single-celled organisms. The book focuses specifically on the Ciliata, a class of infusoria characterized by their vibratile cilia, which they use for movement and capturing food. The author takes a historical approach, examining how the understanding of these creatures has evolved over time, and discussing the challenges of classifying them within the larger scheme of life. The book explores the intricate complexity of these seemingly simple organisms, revealing their unique adaptations, feeding behaviors, and reproductive strategies. The author then presents a compelling argument for the evolutionary significance of the Ciliata, proposing that they represent the ancestors of many of the more complex animal groups we see today. The bookââ â¢s detailed examination of the infusoriaââ â¢s structure, physiology, and possible evolutionary connections offers a groundbreaking perspective on the origins of multicellular life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
