Description: In the postembryological development of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a morphologically recognizable, nongrowing stage, called the dauerlarva, may arise. Using synchronous populations and following growth and molting, it has been shown that the dauerlarva is formed by a facultative, reversible arrest at a specific point in the life cycle, the second of four cuticle molts, in response to external conditions.
