High temperature-induced diapause transiently primes progeny for dauer formation in C. elegans.

Esteban Retamales, James Lee, Andrea Calixto

This study shows that high temperature-induced diapause in C. elegans temporarily enhances progeny dauer formation upon re-exposure to heat, while preserving reproductive capacity.

Interspecies relationships of wild amoebae and bacteria with C. elegans create environments propitious for multigenerational diapause.

Marcela Serey, Esteban Retamales, Gabriel Ibañez…·Andrea Calixto

This study shows that a natural ensemble of bacteria and amoebae induces diapause in C. elegans through RNA communication and pheromone signaling, with effects persisting across generations.
