Genome Announcement: The Draft Genomes of Two Radopholus similis populations from Costa Rica

Journal of Nematology, 2019
Radopholus similis is an economically important pest of both banana and citrus in tropical regions. Here we present draft genomes from two populations of R.

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,

Identification of Physiological Race Nematode, Radopholus similisCobb. that Attack Coffee Trees

Coffee and Cocoa Research Journal, 2006
Physiological races of Radopholus similis Cobb., the burrowing nematode that attack coffee trees have never been reported yet, while two physiological races have been identified, i.e. banana and citrus races.

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.

Gastrointestinal nematode species burdens and host mortality in a feral sheep population [PDF]

, 2006
Every few years a large proportion of the feral sheep on Hirta, St Kilda die due to food shortage. The effects of malnutrition are exacerbated by gastrointestinal nematodes. As found in sheep flocks in mainland Britain, Teladorsagia circumcincta has long

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

Organic matter composition and the protist and nematode communities around anecic earthworm burrows [PDF]

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2015
By living in permanent burrows and incorporating organic detritus from the soil surface, anecic earthworms contribute to soil heterogeneity, but their impact is still under-studied in natural field conditions. We investigated the effects of the anecic earthworm Lumbricus centralis on fresh carbon (C) incorporation, soil organic matter composition ...

The AAP gene family for amino acid permeases contributes to development of the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii in roots of Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2013
The beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii is able to infect Arabidopsis plants and induce feeding sites in the root. These syncytia are the only source of nutrients for the nematodes throughout their life and are a nutrient sink for the host plant.

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 ...
