Influence of environmental temperature on mouth-form plasticity in Pristionchus pacificus acts through daf-11-dependent cGMP signaling

Maša Lenuzzi, Hanh Witte, Metta Riebesell, Christian Rödelsperger, Ray L. Hong, Ralf J. Sommer

This study shows that temperature influences mouth-form plasticity in Pristionchus pacificus through daf-11-dependent cGMP signaling involving DAF-11, DAF-25, and TAX-2.

Evolution of neuronal anatomy and circuitry in two highly divergent nematode species

Ray L. Hong, Metta Riebesell, Daniel J. Bumbarger, Steven J. Cook, Heather R Carstensen, Tahmineh Sarpolaki, Luisa Cochella, Jessica Castrejon, Eduardo Moreno, Bogdan Sieriebriennikov, Oliver Hobert, Ralf J. Sommer

The paper compares the neuroanatomy and connectivity of the chemosensory system in two nematode species, finding conservation in neuronal number and position but divergence in ciliary morphology and synaptic wiring.
