Lowly Rotifer Brings Fame
To D. D. Whitney, Whose Researches
Ecm Coveted 'Star' Rating of A.M.S.
Dr. D. D. Whitney, chairman
1 of the zoology department, is one
i,l' the ! '..' 1'nited Slates scientists
j who has been given the coveted
I slaived rating in American Men
iif ;'e. 1 'ice. He received the h"!ior
'some year:! ago in recognition of
his ("tensive research with roti-
I fri-;i. i' llv-like mieror.eoiiie (i:,aii-
isais that live in water.
Such stars are added only to thn
names of a few .scientists whose
researches have contributed sig
nificantly to the knowledge of
physical and natural laws, and the
rating placed Dr. Whitney nnmng
the ranks of the internationally
famous.
Among the discoveries of the
university Zoologist is the proof'
that rotifers comprise the only
species wlio.se male and female
offspring can be controlled by the
nature of the food eaten by the
grandmothers.
Ph. D. Thesis.
As a young student at Columbia
university Dr. Whitney was puz
zling over the choice of a prob
lem for his Ph. D. thesis when
suddenly he decided to learn more
about rctiCcis. Scientists at that
lime were wondering why all the
female rotifers would produce
genev.it ion after generation of fe
males a"d then puddenly give
biitli to so many males. 11 was 0
burning problem that the zoo!
Oglsl set out to solve.
First, he rri.ie.l thousands upon

I'.ot mi T.'.iis appeai eil, an I the
water hi iles began to dry up. the
: uccceding gevevations were both
male ami female.
Another point he noticed was
that as the ditch water began to
dry up, a green seimi ap;xiivd
over the surface. As this scum be
gan to form, the male rotifers be
came more abundant. Dr. Whitney
decided then and there that diet
was an important factor. The next
step was to develop two diets for
the laboratory rotifers which
would be similar to the colorlc.'S
micro-organisms found when wat
er was plentiful and one similar
to the green plant like organisms
present when pools begin to
dry up.

GEORGE SHUEY
making a tea from the leaves and
adding to it a colorless fluid made
from boiled bone meal, the uni
versity zoologist began feeding his
rotifers a colorless' microorganism
which grew in this new substance
land then watching for results. In
I cldontally, this new food contained
small organisms known as poly
loma, considered a rare delicacy
by the rotifer. By boiling the
water, all other organisms were
destroyed and when polytoma
alone "were added they multiplied
lo millions or more in a few
hours. Many millions of the green
microorganisms were raised at the
same time in solutions of beef and
liver. This culture was kept in
the sunlight.
As the female rotifer lays eggs
almost hourly, he hadn't long to
wait. Bending over the microscope
one day, he suddenly came to the
conclusion that the grandmothers
which had been fed on this new
green diet began producing females
whose offsprings were male as well
as female. Whenever he fed a
grandmother rotifer on a diet of
tne colorless microscopic organ
isms, polytoma. nil the grandchil
dren were females, but when he
changed the diet s i ns to include
the green microorganisms, nearly
all the erandehil livn were males,
lb re was one of the outstanding
contributions of recent limes.
The university se'enlist estab
lished ! imething of a record by
rai.ing .""'' gey,,. rations of rotifers
- all without a father. For most
seasons of the year the female I
rotifer has no mate an. I 1! ies not
need ore'. T. 'evert he'eas liv male
plays an important role in th" per-I
p '!!-, 1 1. vi of the species as Pr.
V. e.i! ley has roved.
Fertilized Cggs Tougher.
Trive t ig it ion revealed that tho
;:;ii. i liimc'l c-.;:s 01 llie lei i.'i.o
were of vastly thinner skin than
the fertilize! eggs, resulting from
the union of the two sexes. As
drouth and hot weather jeopardize
the very ovistence of the rotifers
because of the drying up of ditches
and ponds, nature comes . to the
rescue and produces the green
scum on the water which in turn
brings aliout the birth of the
males. With the males present,
the eggs are fertilized and develop
a thick, tough covering which
protects the delicate chromosomes
The unltrtilized eggs with their
thin skin, can withstand neither
heat, cold nor drouth. x Thus the
males insure future generations of
the species, even though creeks,
ponds and ditches dry up for
months at a time or freeze over
in winter.
