| Abstract(in English) | C. elegans has been reported to exhibit thermotaxis. However, there appears to be some inconsistency among previous reports. The results of population-level thermotaxis investigations suggest that C. elegans can navigate to the region of its cultivation temperature from nearby regions of higher or lower temperature. However, individual C. elegans nematodes appear to show only cryophilic tendencies above their cultivation temperature. A simulation using a simple individual model of C. elegans provides insight into clarifying apparent inconsistencies among previous findings. As a result of the random walk property of locomotion of C. elegans, only cryophilic tendencies above the cultivation temperature can result in population-level thermophilic tendencies. |
