Table 2.
A list of ultraslow waves that may be morphogenetic. (Note that these speeds are in nm s−1 rather than μm s−1.)

| 2 | Volvox Rouselleti (Pockock 1933) | inversion | 10 |
| 3 | V. aureus (Kelland 1977, fig. 9) | inversion | 10 |
| 4 | V. carteria (Viamontes & Kirk 1977) | inversion | 15 |
| 5 | Drosophila eye disc (Tio et al. 1996) | furrowing forward | 1 |
| Drosophila eye disc (Tio et al. 1996) | furrowing sideways | 6 | |

| 7 | axolotl embryo (Armstrong & Graveson 1988), figure 5 | somite segmentation | 15 |
| 8 | sunflower | floret formation | 3a |
| 9 | Euplotes (a ciliate) macronucleus (Ringertz & Hoskins 1965), figure 11 | DNA replication | |
| Euplotes (a ciliate) macronucleus (Ringertz & Hoskins 1965), figure 11 | DNA replication early | 1 | |

This figure was obtained by multiplying the formation of 4–5 floret rings per day under optimal conditions (Palmer 1996) by a ring width of 110 μm (Hernandez & Green 1993).
