In the overall context of the Jewish settlement's development in the 1930s the physical losses endured during the revolt were relatively insignificant. Although hundreds were killed and property was damaged no Jewish settlement was captured or destroyed and several dozen new ones were established. Over 50,000 new Jewish immigrants arrived in Palestine. In 1936 Jews made up about one-third of the population.The hostilities contributed to further disengagement of the Jewish and Arab economies in Palestine, which were intertwined to some extent until that time. Development of the economy and infrastructure accelerated. For example, whereas the Jewish city of Tel Aviv relied on the nearby Arab seaport of Jaffa, hostilities dictated the construction of a separate Jewish-run seaport for Tel Aviv, inspiring the delighted Ben-Gurion to note in his diary "we ought to reward the Arabs for giving us the impetus for this great creation." Metal works were established to produce armoured sheeting for vehicles and a rudimentary arms industry was founded. The settlement's transportation capabilities were enhanced and Jewish unemployment was relieved owing to the employment of police officers, and replacement of striking Arab labourers, employees, craftsman and farmers by Jewish workers. Most of the important industries in Palestine were owned by Jews and in trade and the banking sector they were much better placed than the Arabs.As a result of collaboration with the British colonial authorities and security forces many thousands of young men had their first experience of military training, which Moshe Shertok and Haganah leader Eliyahu Golomb cited as one of the fruits of the Haganah's policy of havlagah (restraint).Although the Jewish settlement in Palestine was dismayed by the publication of the 1939 White Paper restricting Jewish immigration, David Ben-Gurion remained undeterred, believing that the policy would not be implemented, and in fact Neville Chamberlain had told him that the policy would last at the very most only for the duration of the war. In the event the White Paper quotas were exhausted only in December 1944, over five and a half years later, and in the same period the United Kingdom absorbed 50,000 Jewish refugees and the British Commonwealth (Australia, Canada and South Africa) took many thousands more. During the War over 30,000 Jews joined the British forces and even the Irgun ceased operations against the British.
Despite the intervention of up to 50,000 British troops and 15,000 Haganah men, the uprising continued for over three years. By the time it concluded in September 1939, more than 5,000 Arabs, over 300 Jews, and 262 Britons had been killed and at least 15,000 Arabs were wounded.
Abdul Khallik was an effective peasant leader appointed by Fawzi al-Qawukji who caused great damage and loss of life in the Nazareth District and was thus a significant adversary of the Mandate and Jewish settlement authorities. He was trapped by British troops in a major engagement on 2 October 1938 and was killed whilst trying to lead his men to safety.
At least 282 rebel leaders took part in the Arab Revolt and of these only four were Christians. Some of the principal leaders among them, often known as "brigands" in the Jewish press and as "bandits", "terrorists", "rebels" or "insurgents", but never as "nationalists," to the British are described below. The Arabs themselves used the term Ursabi meaning gang and the leader of an armed band was a Qaid al Ursabi. The plural form Ursabat spawned the British soldiers' nickname for all rebels, which was Oozlebart.
モデル生物としての歴史は1960年代に始まる。当時シドニー・ブレナーは発生過程と神経系の問題が今後の生物学で重要な分野になると考えた。分子生物学の成功には、大腸菌などのモデル生物（取り扱いやすく、大量に培養可能で、遺伝学や生化学的手法が使えるという性質をもっている）を使ったことが大きく関与していると考えた彼は、同様の特徴を持つ多細胞生物として C. elegans をモデル生物とすることを提案した。当初近縁種の C. briggsae も候補にあげられていたが、ブレナーの好みで C. elegans になったとされる。それ以前の発生生物学上のモデル生物としては古典的な発生学以来のウニやイモリ、分化の過程に関しては細胞性粘菌（キイロタマホコリカビ）がよく使われたが、前者はその体が大きく複雑に過ぎ、後者では体の構造がないに等しく、多細胞動物とは比較できない。そのため、後生動物でありながら体が小さく細胞数が少なく、しかも培養がたやすいものが必要であり、C. elegans はこれらの条件に良く合っている。現在では Caenorhabditis Genetics Center に登録される研究室は 400 を越える。C. elegans をモデル生物として確立し、器官発生とアポトーシスの遺伝制御に関する発見をした成果に対し、ブレナーおよびロバート・ホロビッツ、ジョン・サルストンは2002年にノーベル生理学・医学賞を受賞した。1990年にヒトゲノム計画のモデル系として、全ゲノム配列の決定が3年間のパイロットプロジェクトとして開始された。これはアメリカ国立衛生研究所とMRC分子生物学研究所の資金提供によるものである。1994年の資金追加を経て、1998年に多細胞生物として初めて 97Mb の塩基配列読み取りが完了した。その結果、6本の染色体上に約 19000 個の遺伝子の存在が予測された。また、2本鎖の RNA を導入すると、それと相同の配列を持つ遺伝子の発現が抑制されるという、RNAi と呼ばれる遺伝子抑制手法が初めて確立された生物でもある。1998年にアンドリュー・ファイアーらにより報告されたこの現象は siRNA の発見へとつながり、現在遺伝子治療でもっとも期待される手法の一つとなっている。RNAi という現象を発見した成果に対し、ファイアーとクレイグ・メローは2006年にノーベル生理学・医学賞を受賞した。2015年に九州大学の研究グループは、 C. elegans を使って、被験者の尿の臭いを利用して早期かつ高精度のがん検診に成功したことを発表した。
