Normal and mutant thermotaxis in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
Open accessAbstract
When grown at a temperature from 16 degrees to 25 degrees and placed on a thermal gradient, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans migrates to its growth temperature and then moves isothermally. Behavioral adaptation to a new temperature takes several hours. Starved animals, in contrast, disperse from the growth temperature. Several mutants selected for chemotaxis defects have thermotaxis defects as well; these behaviors depend on some common gene products. New mutants selected directly for thermotaxis defects have unusual phenotypes which suggest mechanisms for thermotaxis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
