Girguis and his team recreated this temperature gradient on a smaller scale in their lab, constructing a tank of water that was cold on one end and hot on the other. Worms were then scattered randomly across the tank. Instead of standing still, as Girguis had expected them to, the worms all migrated to the region of the water...
