Caenorhabditis elegans lives in a complex habitat in which they routinely experience large
fluctuations in temperature, and encounter physical obstacles that vary in size and …

Like other ectotherms, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila
melanogaster rely on behavioral strategies to stabilize their body temperature. Both animals …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

A major challenge in analyzing animal behavior is to discover some underlying simplicity in
complex motor actions. Here, we show that the space of shapes adopted by the nematode …

Caenorhabditis elegans shows chemotaxis to various odorants and water-soluble
chemoattractants such as NaCl. Previous studies described the pirouette mechanism for …

Humans and other animals can sense temperature changes as small as 0.1° C. How
animals achieve such exquisite sensitivity is poorly understood. By recording from the C …

A mechanistic understanding of animal navigation requires quantitative assessment of the
sensorimotor strategies used during navigation and quantitative assessment of how these …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans navigates toward a preferred temperature setpoint
(T s) determined by long-term temperature exposure. During thermotaxis, the worm migrates …

Caenorhabditis elegans navigates thermal gradients by using a behavioral strategy that is
regulated by a memory of its cultivation temperature (T c). At temperatures above or around …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans deliberately crawls toward the negative pole in an
electric field. By quantifying the movements of individual worms navigating electric fields, we …
