Circadian rhythms represent an adaptive feature, ubiquitously found in nature, which grants
living beings the ability to anticipate daily variations in their environment. They have been …

As small ectotherms, whose temperature equilibrates almost instantly with that of their
environment, free-living nematodes rely on their behavior for thermoregulation …

Animals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their
thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain …

Soil-transmitted parasitic nematodes infect over one billion people and cause devastating
morbidity worldwide. Many of these parasites have infective larvae that locate hosts using …

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) exhibits cold tolerance and temperature
acclimatisation regulated by a small number of head sensory neurons, such as the ADL …

Animals maintain the ability to survive and reproduce by acclimating to environmental
temperatures. We showed here that Caenorhabditis elegans exhibited temperature …

The poet WB Yeats wrote that “All that is personal soon rots, it must be packed in ice or salt”.
Here we show that in Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, simple animals with just 302 …

Internal state profoundly alters perception and behavior. For example, a starved fly may
approach and consume foods that it would otherwise find undesirable. A socially engaged …

Adaptation and tolerance to changes in heat and cold temperature are essential for survival
and proliferation in plants and animals. However, there is no clear information regarding the …

Challenges from environmental stressors have a profound impact on many life-history traits
of an organism, including reproductive strategy. Examples across multiple taxa have …
