Examples

“To find out, Dr. Rinke and his colleagues grew three groups of superworms in the lab. One group ate bran, one ate blocks of polystyrene and the third ate nothing. (The experiments were temporarily halted by hungry superworms’ tendency to turn cannibal; giving each unfed superworm its own private space allowed the study to continue.)”
