Caenorhabditis elegans L1 Aggregation
Morpheus Model ID:
M7683
Introduction Larvae of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans aggregate into clusters of several hundred moving individuals when starved during their first larval stage (see video below). Avery et al. proposed that starved larvae produce and respond chemotactically to two diffusible chemical signals, a short-range attractant and a longer range repellent.
