Revising the Standard Wisdom of C. elegans Natural History: Ecology of Longevity
Science of Aging Knowledge Environment, 2005•science.org
Here, we consider that most of the research concerning Caenorhabditis elegans has been
laboratory focused and that only limited research has directly considered the worm's biology
relative to its natural history in the wild. We describe that, although the worm has traditionally
been considered a soil nematode, we could not find it in soil but frequently recovered it from
snails. Finally, we discuss how a better understanding of the natural history of C. elegans
may enhance its usefulness as a model organism for studying aging and other phenomena.
