Enter Volvox, a curious hand-drawn game about guiding three-sided “Trimoebas” across the level to fit into abstract solutions. While it’s pretty simplistic in overall design, the game’s ...

How does multicellularity evolve? Scientists who study a family of green algae that includes unicellular Chlamydomonas and multicellular Volvox are beginning to find answers to this question.

Ancestors of Volvox algae made the transition from being a single-celled organism to becoming a multicellular colony at least 200 million years ago, during the Triassic Period. At that time ...

IN this third memoir M. Janet approaches the problem of the ontogenesis of the Volvox blastea (ccenobium). He confines himself to the methods of cell bipartition, but in later works he proposes to ...
