Fig. 2From: Morphology of the nervous system of monogonont rotifer Epiphanes senta with a focus on sexual dimorphism between feeding females and dwarf malesZ-projections (a, d, g–i) and 3-D reconstructions (b, c, e and f) of the nervous system of Epiphanes senta females (a–c, h, i) and males (d–g), visualized with CLSM combined with antibody staining against tyrosinated-tubulin (white) and DAPI staining of cell nuclei (cyan). Entire animals in dorso-ventral (a, b, d) and lateral (c, e) views. Details of the anterior part of the nervous system (f), brain (g, h) and posterior structures (i). In all panels anterior is to the top.
