So you can recognize this kind of movement, the same movement that worms, snakes and every animal that are moving on the ground without legs is able to display.

These worms are considered to be major players in a new and unique marine ecosystem.

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