Burrowing Nematodes May Survive on Variants of ‘Milam’ Lemon

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1967
Abstract ‘Milam’ is a lemon-type citrus rootstock of unknown parentage considered resistant to the burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis (Cobb) Thorne. R. similis causes a serious disease of citrus in Florida called spreading decline. ‘Milam’ was found in 1954 as the noninfected rootstock of a ‘Parson Brown’ orange tree in a burrowing nematode ...

The burrowing behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans: a new assay for the study of neuromuscular disorders [PDF]

Genes, Brain and Behavior, 2015
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been a powerful model system for the study of key muscle genes relevant to human neuromuscular function and disorders. The behavioral robustness of C. elegans, however, has hindered its use in the study of certain neuromuscular disorders because many worm models of human disease show only subtle phenotypes while ...

Histochemical and Cytochemical Investigations of Phenols in Roots of Banana Infected by the Burrowing Nematode Radopholus similis [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 1998
The burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is one of the most damaging pathogens on banana plantations. The role of phenolics in plant defense responses to the nematode was histochemically and ultrastructurally investigated in susceptible and partially resistant cultivars. Histochemical observations of healthy roots revealed that high levels of lignin,

Distribution and Host Range of the Burrowing Nematode in Puerto Rican Soils

The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico, 1963
Because of quarantine recently established by the State of California on ornamental material imported from Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Florida, a study was undertaken in 1955, which lasted until 1960, to determine the distribution of the burrowing nematode in Puerto Rico.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

New record of Pelecitus sp. (Nematoda, Onchocercidae) as a parasite of Athene cunicularia (Strigiformes, Strigidae) in southeastern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
The aim of this study was to report the burrowing owl Athene cunicularia as a new host for the filarid nematode Pelecitus sp. in southeastern Brazil for the first time, as well as reporting the occurrence of this nematode species in the body cavity, near

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.
