University of Utah biology professor Michael Werner explains how his lab found several species of roundworms, known as nematodes, in the reef-like bacteria-built rocks on the bed of the large saline lake. Previously just two multicellular animals were known to inhabit the lake’s waters, brine shrimp and brine flies. Now there is a third, underscoring how much scientists have yet learn about the lake. Nematodes are the most widespread animal on Earth, occupying extreme environments. The U discovery is the most saline environment nematodes are known to inhabit.
