A classification of the entire Phylum Nematoda is presented, based on current molecular,
developmental and morphological evidence. The classification reflects the evolutionary …

21. Originally placed in order Alaimida on the basis of general similarities in the thin body
shape and the rudimentary buccal cavity, here regarded as a suborder of Ironida on the …

This chapter is an attempt to bring together the studies of nematode diversity in terrestrial,
freshwater aquatic and marine environments, and to synthesize these into some sort of …

A 25-week experiment was conducted to investigate the changes in the microeukaryote
community (MEC) and nutritional composition of the biofloc during Nile tilapia culture in …

The order Plectida is one of the last to be added to the nematode classification. It was first
proposed by Gadea (1973), and later reinstated by Malakhov (Malakhov et al. 1982 …

This paper presents an annotated list of nematode taxa found in the course of investigations
of meiobenthic communities in various freshwater bodies in central and southern Vietnam …

Taxonomic resolution is a critical component of biodiversity assessments. In this case study,
we examined a single taxon within a larger study of nematode diversity to evaluate the …

Background Recent studies have challenged the widespread view that the pattern of
embryogenesis found in Caenorhabditis elegans (clade 9) is characteristic of nematodes in …

During an investigation of a natural sandy beach on Jeju Island, South Korea, a species of
marine nematode belonging to the rare genus Manunema was discovered and is now being …

Nematodes constitute one of the largest animal phyla. Hitherto about 20.000 species have
been described but there are estimates that this number is less than 2% of the total number …
