Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Some species of thecate hydroids (Leptomedusae) produce short-lived medusae with sex elements on the manubrium and not on the radial canals, in this respect being anthomedusan-like. These anomalous medusoids live for short periods and do not feed, their sole function being gamete dispersal. Comparison of the structure of these medusae with that of the fixed gonophores of thecate hydroids suggests that the composite character states of these "anomalous medusoids" could be considered a mosaic of free medusan and fixed gonophore structures. This morph is here referred to as a "swimming gonophore" and represents a derived stage in the evolution of hydromedusan life cycles. |
