These Rotifers Glue Themselves Together

The video explores the evolution of multicellularity from early organisms and the formation of colonies in both single-celled and multicellular organisms. It highlights the unique nature of rotifer colonies, which differ from other colonies like bryozoa and coral. Various methods of colony formation are discussed, including auto-recruitment, allog-recruitment, and germinative formation. The video concludes by examining the potential reasons for rotifer colonies, such as food gathering, safety, and adhesive strength.
