Dispersal and gene flow determine connectivity among populations, and can be studied
through population genetics and phylogeography. We here review the results of such a …

To the public at large, the phylum Nematoda is mostly known by its pathogenic species,
causing some of the most infectious diseases in humans and animals and more crop losses …

Nematoda is a very species-rich phylum that has successfully adapted to almost all types of
ecosystems. Despite their abundance and ecological importance, the taxonomic knowledge …

Stunt nematodes are characterized by phenotypic plasticity, with overlapping morphology
and morphometry leading to potential misidentification. Consequently, the application of …

SMOL and A. COOMANS Department of Biology, Ghent University, Ledeganckstraat 35, B-9000 …

Accurate species circumscriptions are central for many biological disciplines and have
critical implications for ecological and conservation studies. An increasing body of evidence …

Background Dispersal ability, population genetic structure and species divergence in marine
nematodes are still poorly understood, especially in remote areas such as the Southern …

Nematodes are suitable indicators for environmental perturbations because their distribution
is closely linked to sediment characteristics. To evaluate whether DNA-based approaches …

Background The resilience of ecosystems to negative impacts is generally higher when high
gene flow, species diversity and genetic diversity are present. Population genetic studies are …

The diversity and phylogenetic relationships of the Desmodoridae, a widespread tropical
family of free-living marine nematodes, is hitherto poorly known both from molecular and …
