Excerpt from Biological Bulletin, Vol. 24: Of the Marine Biological Laboratory, Wood Hole, Mass
In some experiments dealing with the inheritance of certain egg characters in the rotifer Hydatina senta, it has been necessary to inbreed the animals a number of times in succession. Evidence relating to the influence of inbreeding on vigor has thus been incidentally obtained. Since this part of the evidence from the experiments has no direct bearing on the inheritance of the egg characters in question, it is published here separately.
All the experiments started from a single female, herself an F1 from a cross. From her was bred a parthenogenetic line of 12 generations. Some of the females and males of this line were paired, and a considerable number of fertilized eggs obtained.
