Cross-Generational Effects and Non-random Developmental Response to Temperature Variation in Paramecium

Unicellular organisms such as ciliates are largely neglected in research on adaptive developmental plasticity, although their nuclear dualism offers ideal circumstances to study development outside an embryonic context. Here, we gain first insights into the ability of the ciliate Paramecium to devel...
