Article Synopsis
- Many species utilize dormant stages for habitat selection, with some developing discerning strategies based on external cues, while others recover randomly despite having advanced sensory abilities.
- The study focused on nematodes with a dormant dauer larva stage, examining how bacteria in their habitats influence recovery strategies linked to their genotypes.
- Results showed that while dauers generally recover in various conditions, their recovery rates increase with certain bacteria depending on genotype, indicating a mix of both discerning and undiscerning strategies, influenced by factors beyond just the bacteria's quality.
