Multicellular development in a choanoflagellate
discriminate helpers from hinderers. These results clearly challenge the view that infants start out as egoists who have to be trained to become prosocial through systematic cultural intervention. Rather, they suggest that altruism and cooperation comes to humans naturally from the start. Evolution and human cognitive development Interestingly, virtually all of the amazing skills that human inf...
متن کاملCooperatively generated stresslet flows supply fresh fluid to multicellular choanoflagellate colonies.
The flagellated protozoan Salpingoeca rosetta is one of the closest relatives of multicellular animals. Unicellular S. rosetta can be induced to form multicellular colonies, but colonies swim more slowly than individual cells so the advantages conferred by colony formation are uncertain. Here we use theoretical models to show that hydrodynamic cooperation between cells can increase the fluid su...
متن کاملThe rosetteless gene controls development in the choanoflagellate S. rosetta
The origin of animal multicellularity may be reconstructed by comparing animals with one of their closest living relatives, the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta. Just as animals develop from a single cell-the zygote-multicellular rosettes of S. rosetta develop from a founding cell. To investigate rosette development, we established forward genetics in S. rosetta. We find that the rosette de...
متن کاملClassic Spotlight: a Window on Multicellular Development.
In response to nutrient deprivation, myxobacteria form multicellular fruiting bodies filled with spores. These macroscopic aggregates of soil bacteria have intrigued microbiologists since the late 19th century. In recent decades, Myxococcus xanthus has served as a model organism for cellular and molecular studies aimed at characterizing social interactions, intercellular communication, motility...
