C. elegans worm, illustration C018 / 0731
Caenorhabditis elegans worm, illustration. C. elegans is a soil-dwelling hermaphrodite nematode worm and one of the most studied animals in biological and genetic research. A tendency to reproduce by self-fertilisation (resulting in identical offspring), along with the short time taken to reach maturity, make this tiny worm an ideal subject

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate illustration of a C. elegans worm, also known as Caenorhabditis elegans. As a soil-dwelling hermaphrodite nematode worm, it holds a prominent position in biological and genetic research, making it one of the most extensively studied animals in these fields. The unique characteristic of self-fertilization leading to identical offspring, combined with its remarkably short time to reach maturity, renders this minuscule creature an ideal subject for scientific exploration. Its transparent body structure allows researchers to observe internal processes with exceptional clarity. Displayed against a vibrant green backdrop, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this fascinating roundworm species. The delicate strokes and attention to detail highlight its biological features while evoking curiosity about its role in nature. With implications spanning neuroscience, genetics, and zoology among others, C. elegans serves as an invaluable model organism for understanding fundamental aspects of life itself. This image not only celebrates the wonders found within our natural world but also pays homage to the tireless efforts made by scientists worldwide who utilize these remarkable creatures in their quest for knowledge. Claudia Stocker's masterful creation immortalizes this extraordinary nematode worm and invites us into the captivating realm of biology and zoological exploration.
