Abstract
The nematodes C. elegans and C. briggsae are key models for genetic studies. Despite their overall similar morphology, these two species exhibit notable differences. We used the isolates from tropical ( AF16 and QX1410 ) and temperate ( HK104 and VX34 ) regions to characterize the life history traits of C. briggsae . Our findings reveal significant variations in body dimensions, movement patterns, utse morphology, and lipid contents across isolates, highlighting species-level distinctions that further establish C. briggsae as a valuable comparative model for genetic research.
线虫 C. elegans 和 C. briggsae 是遗传研究的关键模型。尽管总体形态相似，但这两种线虫表现出明显的差异。我们利用来自热带（AF16 和 QX1410）和温带（HK104 和 VX34）地区的分离株来描述 C. briggsae 的生活史特征。我们的发现揭示了不同分离株在身体尺寸、运动模式、胞壳形态和脂质含量方面的显著差异，突出了物种水平的区别，进一步确立了布氏栉水母作为遗传研究的一个有价值的比较模型的地位。
