Regulation of sedimentation rate shapes the evolution of multicellularity in a close unicellular relative of animals

Omaya Pierre Dudin

Significant increases in sedimentation rate accompany the evolution of multicellularity. These increases should lead to rapid changes in ecological distribution, thereby affecting the costs and benefits of multicellularity and its likelihood to evolve. How ...
