Morphological types and seasonal variation in eggs of zooplankton species from bottom sediments in Bahia Blanca Estuary, Argentina [PDF]
Resting egg production is a survival mechanism in zooplankton species against adverse environmental conditions. Egg accumulation in the upper layer of the bottom sediments is fundamental to the resurgence of the populations of these species when ...

Localized ultraviolet laser microbeam irradiation of early Drosophila embryos: Fate maps based on location and frequency of adult defects [PDF]
Drosophila embryos were locally irradiated with a 257-nm laser microbeam during blastoderm and germ band stages. Depending on stage and beam diameter (10–30 μm), from 0 to 45 nuclei were exposed to the uv radiation.
