Abstract: Phenotypic plasticity allows animals to survive in changing environments through the alteration of phenotypes or development. One of the best-studied examples of phenotypic plasticity is dauer larval development in the free-living roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. When… read more here.

Abstract: Host-parasite research often focuses on a single host life stage, yet different life stages may exhibit different defenses. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has an alternate dispersal life stage, dauer. Despite dauer’s importance in nature, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology12030464
Abstract: Simple Summary C. elegans dauer is a form of phenotypic and developmental plasticity that induces reversible developmental arrest upon adverse environmental cues. This is well conserved among nematodes, including in human-infective species that cause filariasis,… read more here.
