Responsiveness to external cues is a hallmark of biological systems. In complex environments, it is crucial for organisms to remain responsive to specific inputs even as other internal or external factors fluctuate. Here, we show how the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can discriminate between different food levels to modulate its lifespan despite temperature perturbations. This end-to-end robustness from environment to physiology is mediated by food-sensing neurons that communicate via transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and serotonin signals to form a multicellular gene network. Specific regulations in this network change sign with temperature to maintain similar food responsiveness in the lifespan output. In contrast to robustness of stereotyped outputs, our findings uncover a more complex robustness process involving the higher order function of discrimination in food responsiveness. This process involves rewiring a multicellular network to compensate for temperature and provides a basis for understanding gene-environment interactions. Together, our findings unveil sensory computations that integrate environmental cues to govern physiology. C. elegans’ ability to modulate lifespan in response to food is robust to temperature Robustness requires TGF-β and serotonin signaling in a neuronal network Specific regulations in the neuronal network change sign with temperature Temperature-dependent regulations compensate for temperature Both food and temperature impact lifespan, but how do they interact? Patel et al. report that the effect of dietary restriction on lifespan is robust to temperature. This ability is sustained by temperature-dependent plasticity in a food-sensory network. Such compensatory mechanisms maintain flexibility and responsiveness despite external perturbations.
