The molecular mechanism of aging, which has been a “black box” for many years, elucidated in recent and the nematode C. elegans, is model animal aging research, played major role its elucidation. From analysis elegans longevity-related mutant genes, signal transduction systems, with insulin/insulin-like growth factor system at core, have emerged. It become clear that this greatly affected by ex...

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a well-established multicellular model organism has been widely used in the biological field for half century. Its numerous advantages including small body size, rapid life cycle, high-reproductive rate, well-defined anatomy, and conserved genome, made C. one of most successful organisms. Discoveries obtained from have great contributions to research field...

The genus Oryctophileurus is reviewed and its validity is supported by a combination of the following apomorphic characters: a single cephalic horn with lateral carina, pronotal cavity with ocellate punctures and two teeth or tubercles close behind the anterior pronotal margin. The male of Oryctophileurus varicosus Prell, 1934, is described for the first time. A new species, Oryctophileurus gue...
