New Yorker, 17 Septermber 2018: page 26 (There was no general recognition that bee "kings" were actually female "queens" until the sixteen-seventies, when a Dutch microscopist, Jan Swammerdam, pointed out that bee kings had ovaries.) Wikipedia, 17 November 2018 (Jan Swammerdam, born February 12, 1637, Amsterdam, Dutch Republic, died February 17, 1680, Amsterdam, Dutch Republic, aged 42; Dutch biologist and microscopist. His work on insects demonstrated that the various phases during the life of an insect -- egg, larva, pupa, and adult -- are different forms of the same animal. As part of his anatomical research, he carried out experiments on muscle contraction. In 1658, he was the first to observe and describe red blood cells. He was one of the first people to use the microscope in dissections, and his techniques remained useful for hundreds of years.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Swammerdam> |
