Summary

Worms and Light explores the fascinating world of non-visual photoreception in nematodes, or roundworms, revealing how these simple organisms detect light without eyes. This capability influences their behavior, survival, and evolutionary adaptation. Nematodes use photosensitivity to avoid harmful light, locate food, and synchronize with daily or seasonal light cycles. Consider that Darwin's work on earthworm behavior laid a foundation for understanding how organisms respond to stimuli.

 
The book highlights the cellular and molecular mechanisms of light detection, the ecological roles of photosensitivity, and its evolutionary origins. By integrating molecular, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives, Worms and Light offers a unique understanding of sensory systems.

 
The book progresses from key concepts and molecular components to ecological contexts and evolutionary history, supported by genetic, molecular, behavioral, and ecological studies.
Available since: 02/27/2025.

    Highways and Byways in Sussex

    A very personal and opinionated wander through the Sussex of around 1900, illustrated with anecdotes, literary and poetic quotations, gravestone epitaphs and a gentle sense of humour. The author colours the countryside with his nostalgia for times past and regret for the encroaching future, his resentment of churches with locked doors, and his love of deer parks, ruined castles and the silent hills.(I must add my apologies for my attempts at the Sussex dialect in the chapter on that subject.)[This book is of Reading Grade of 9.55 (i.e. equivalent to 9½ years of U.S. education. Reading Ease score of 63.72 (on a scale from 100 to 0 .. where 65 is easy, 30 a little hard, 0 difficult). These are Flesch-Kincaid readability scores.]
