They will die and not learn: The lesson that male worms refuse to internalize

In Dr. Meital Oren-Suisa's lab at the Weizmann Institute, they discovered that male worms learn less well from experience compared to females, and uncovered a neural receptor that is responsible for the difference between the sexes and is also conserved in humans.

The researchers examined the relationship between sediment mixing caused, in part, by burrowing worms with a mineral called pyrite, which plays a key role in oxygen accumulation. As more pyrite is formed and buried under the mud, sand or

Will the wax worms lead to an ecological solution that the world is waiting for?
