Responses of Bugula neritina, an arborescent bryozoan to the removal of growing tips: short term patterns of regeneration.
In colonial organisms, physical damage or predation can result in the loss of part of the colony. Although the colony may survive, the loss of part of the colony may alter... -
Responses of Bugula neritina, an arborescent bryozoan, to the removal of growing tips at different locations within the colony
For colonial organisms physical damage or predation can result in the loss of part of the colony. Although the colony may survive, the loss of part of the colony may alter... -
