So what about the normal worm?

This is the connectome of the worm C. elegans.

Four out of five animals on Earth are nematode worms if all solid materials except nematode worms were to be eliminated, you could still see the ghostly outline of most of it in nematode worms.

But what good is this for the worm?

So this animal is going to live twice as long.

But at that time, most of the mutant worms are still alive.

These goliath beetles are wired in their wings.

Rods, reels, lines, lures, spinners, flies, bugs, spoons, the whole mess.

So you can see in black, after a month they're very short lived that's why we like to study them for studies of aging in black, after a month, the normal worms are all dead.

Insects see green, blue and ultraviolet, and they see various shades of ultraviolet.

It's active. You can't tell the difference really.

And now I want to show what they actually look like in this movie here.

Nematode worms showed a significant number of mutations compared to control specimens but no unusual reproductive behavior.

You're going to see, in just two weeks, the normal worms are old.

The Sudan continued to account for more than half the world s cases of guinea worm disease (dracunculiasis).

In 1998, the number of cases of reported guinea worm disease decreased by 34 per cent over 1997.

So we started to change genes at random, looking for long lived animals.

It takes this worm two days to age as much as the normal worm ages in one day.

Consider the nematode roundworm, the most abundant of all animals.

Instead, we studied a little, tiny, round worm called C. elegans, which is just about the size of a comma in a sentence.

And what's more, this guy doesn't need a wire connected all the way back to a power station burning fossil fuels.

And, in fact, the animals we were working with in the lab these little garden worms, nematodes they were also dead when we exposed them to low oxygen.

And they can be completely fertile have the same number of progeny as the normal worms do.

Little Worm

(h) The number of cases of guinea worm in Africa and Asia has been reduced by 97 per cent from the 1990 level.

What vermin some vermin are.

And mutations that damage the TOR gene just like the daf 2 mutations extend lifespan in worms and flies and mice.

The pests that the standard seeks to control are typically insect pests and other pests and diseases vectored by insects.

So the first thing you're going to see is the normal worm when it's about college student age a young adult.

And, in places where there are worms, intestinal worms, cure the kids of their worms.

They sporulated, the spores attract insects, the insects laid eggs, eggs became larvae.

With regard to levels of biodiversity, species range and gene flow, work is progressing well using both traditional morphological techniques and the newly developed DNA based techniques for all animal groups being investigated (polychaetes, nematodes and foraminifera).

They're just parasite hotels even their parasites have parasites.

A FOXO is a protein that we found in these little, round worms to affect lifespan, and here it affects lifespan in people.

And look, this flower is flooded with predatory bugs, with the good ones after wiping out the bad ones, the thrips.

Shimon Steinberg Natural pest control ... using bugs!

Is that so parasitic?

I'm obsessed with insects, particularly insect flight.

Help me!

A worm?

Moths.

Ladybugs!

And we're finding amoebas like this. This is the amoeba dubia.

Again, we'll start first with the pest the thrips.

Why not eat insects? Well first, what are insects?
