OBSERVATIONS ON THE GIANT AMOEBA, AMOEBA CAROLINENSIS (WILSON, 1900)

The Biological Bulletin, 1946
1. It is concluded that the giant amoeba described by Wilson (1900) is not a Pelomyxa but belongs to the genus Amoeba and should be designated A. carolinensis. Chaos chaos is considered to be invalid as a name, owing to the fact that it is based on Roesel's inadequate description.2. Nutritional studies indicate that A.

Computer Vision Detects an Association Between Gross Gill Score and Ventilation Rates in Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Poor gill health compromises the health and welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by causing respiratory distress and increased ventilation frequency. Poor gill health is caused by numerous factors, including amoebic gill disease (AGD), jellyfish stings, and toxic algae, and is monitored by fish farmers by manual ‘gill scoring’. Gill

Transfer cells in Horneophyton lignieri illuminate the origin of vascular tissues in land plants

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3149-3164, March 2026.
Summary Recent fossil discoveries and advances in plant phylogeny have renewed debate about the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of land plants and the evolution of its fundamental organs and tissues. We re‐investigate the vascular system of Horneophyton lignieri, an exceptionally preserved Rhynie Chert fossil central to understanding early plant ...
