Introduction into C. elegans Aggregation or Dispersal Behavior

The transparent body of C. elegans allows researchers to easily observe and analyze its behavior in detail under a microscope. And as an excellent model organism, behavioral analysis of C. elegans has been an important method for genetic, aging and disease studies. behavioral analysis of C. elegans includes movement analysis, food avoidance analysis, and aggregation or dispersal behavior analysis. In response to different environmental or genetic factors, C. elegans exhibits different aggregation or dispersal abilities.

• Aggregation Behavior: Aggregation behavior refers to the tendency of C. elegans individuals to aggregate together. This behavior is usually in response to favorable conditions, such as the presence of a food source or the release of chemical signals by conspecifics.
• Dispersal Behavior: Dispersal behavior refers to the movement of C. elegans individuals away from each other or from a specific location. Dispersal may be a response to unfavorable conditions, such as exposure to harmful substances. Dispersal behavior allows C. elegans to explore new environments, find new sources of food, or escape from unfavorable conditions.

C. elegans aggregation or dispersal behavior is analyzed to help researchers understand the molecular and cellular processes involved in social behavior, chemotaxis (movement toward or away from chemicals), and responses to environmental cues.
