- cryophilic
Animals tend to track and stay within low temperature environments.
- cold resistant
Animals exhibit increased ability to survive at low temperatures compared to controls.
- hypoxia response variant
Animals exhibit variations in response to hypoxia, low oxygen conditions, compared to controls.
- hypoxia hypersensitive
Animals respond to hypoxic (low oxygen levels) stress after a shorter exposure time compared to control.
- hypoxia resistant
Animals fail to respond to low amounts of oxygen that elicit a response in control animals.
- dwelling variant
Animals exhibit variations in the low-speed/high turning movement that restricts them to a confined region compared to control.
- dwelling reduced
Animals exhibit a decrease in the low-speed/high turning movement that usually restricts them to a confined region compared to control.
- dwelling increased
Animals exhibit an increase in the low-speed/high turning movement that usually restricts them to a confined region compared to control.
- dauer resistance to harsh conditions variant
Variations which lead to the decreased ability of dauer larva to survive at extreme conditions, such as high or low temperatures, the presence of dilute acids, detergents, anesthetics, or even fixatives, compared to control (Wormatlas).
