Attention

PLEASE NOTE: I find many conflicting pieces of information in this entry. Suggest referring to "paramecium" for better information, and perhaps an eventual review.

Start

I noticed that an article on Paramecium caudatum had been requested for more then a year, that's why I created this stub with some basics, please improve this article with more information, and an image or images. --Zainub 15:40, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits Feb. 14, 2013

I reviewed the article for consistency and accuracy. A synopsis of the changes:

Removed tangential fact concerning the epithet "slipper animalcule"
Edited Reproduction section to improve accuracy.
Removed nonsensical claim concerning feeding w/ the help of a "biosphereic presser valve"
Removed possibly true but unreferenced claim that p. caudatum die in synthetic fertilizer
Clarified the nature of the study by Daniel Fels, concerning P. caudatum using photons for communication. Deuterostome (talk) 17:25, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing the discussion of Daniel Fels's study on Talk:Paramecium, I removed the section on "Cellular Communication through Light". While interesting, this single-author study has not aroused any interest or support among ciliatologists, and does not really belong in a general article about this species. As one of the editors on Talk:Paramecium points out, it really belongs in the biophoton article. Deuterostome (talk) 02:03, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
