The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-known model organism for research on
aging and life span, but very little is known about its ecology and natural history. The strain …

Demographic characteristics of the bacterial-feeding nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
were determined in two long-lived mutant strains, TJ1052 (age-1), CB4876 (clk-1), and a …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reproduces predominantly as a self-fertilizing
hermaphrodite, and this drives laboratory populations to be homozygous at all genetic loci …

The survival of Caenorhabditis elegans was studied comparing animals of different sexes,
sterilized animals, and animals grown at different temperatures as a prelude to more …

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 …

In 1967, as we became interested in the biology of aging, we were faced with the following
basic biological paradox: organisms are endowed with the capacity to detect and repair …

The free-living, self-fertilizing hermaphroditic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is one of
the most promising and well-characterized invertebrate organisms available for the study of …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a short-lived species that has been widely used in the genetic
dissection of development. This species is becoming important in the genetic analysis of …

Over a century ago, the zoologist Emile Maupas first identified the nematode, Rhabditis
elegans, in the soil in Algiers. Subsequent work and phylogenic studies renamed the …

Relatively simple model organisms such as yeast, fruit-flies and the nematode,
Caenorhabditis elegans, have proven to be invaluable resources in biological studies. An …
