A study of silicoflagellate double skeletons revealed two unusual doublets that are illustrated and discussed here. One of these comprises two ten-sided Octactis skeletons that appear to form a doublet, but both in the same (apical) orientation. The other specimen is a double skeleton of Dictyocha that is slightly disarticulated, with a third, less robust skeleton in between. These unusual double skeletons suggest that there is much more to be learned about the formation of silicoflagellate skeletons and the reproductive processes in this protist group.

Abstract

A study of silicoflagellate double skeletons revealed two unusual doublets that are illustrated and discussed here. One of these comprises two ten-sided Octactis skeletons that appear to form a doublet, but both in the same (apical) orientation. The other specimen is a double skeleton of Dictyocha that is slightly disarticulated, with a third, less robust skeleton in between. These unusual double skeletons suggest that there is much more to be learned about the formation of silicoflagellate skeletons and the reproductive processes in this protist group.
