The genome of the migratory nematode, Radopholus similis, reveals signatures of close association to the sedentary cyst nematodes.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Radopholus similis, commonly known as the burrowing nematode, is an important pest of myriad crops and ornamentals including banana (Musa spp.) and Citrus spp. In order to characterize the potential role of putative effectors encoded by R.

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 ...

Local Resource Heterogeneity Drives Density‐Dependent Dispersal Expression in a Phoretic Mite

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Regional heterogeneity often selects for dispersal, as this allows individuals to move between environments. However, individuals do not experience regional conditions and must make developmental decisions based on local cues. Using long‐term population experiments, we find that local heterogeneity influences dispersal by exacerbating competition ...

Hijacking the Host Clock: A Nematode Effector Antagonizes Soybean Circadian Defense and Translation Control

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Soybean employs its circadian clock, governed by GmCCA1, to rhythmically defend against soybean cyst nematodes. The pathogen retaliates by secreting the effector Hg4E02, which hijacks the clock to suppress defense and co‐opt the host's translation machinery for nutrient acquisition.

Nematodes in plant quarantine: Detection of plant parasitic nematode infestations difficult because of complexity of possible causes of visible symptoms

California Agriculture, 1959
Nearly all the major crop pests in California–including plant parasitic nematodes–have been introduced on or in host plants or as contaminants on articles of commerce.

Local climate aridity influences the distribution of thelastomatoid nematodes of the Australian giant burrowing cockroach

Parasitology, 2007
SUMMARYIn this study, we examined the effects of local climate aridity on the richness and composition of the thelastomatoid (Nematoda: Oxyurida) guild parasitizing the Australian giant burrowing cockroach,Macropanesthia rhinoceros(Blattodea: Geoscapheinae).

Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Sensitive Detection of Foodborne Parasitic Larvae Using a Sieving–qPCR Workflow: Application to Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Contaminated food and water represent potential infection sources of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a parasitic nematode with significant zoonotic potential. Limited environmental surveillance may be due to the absence of simple and reliable screening methods. Different methods of A.

Ecosystem recovery in restored saltmarshes detected through invertebrate communities

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Saltmarsh ecosystems support rich biodiversity and provide key ecosystem services. Invertebrate communities underpin essential processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. However, saltmarshes have been widely degraded by land use change.

Protocols for the development of the guidance on the risk assessment of PPP to non‐target arthropods, in‐soil organisms and non‐target terrestrial plants

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The present document defines the problem formulation, evidence needs and methodological approach agreed by the Environmental Risk Assessment Working Group and the EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues for the Tier 1 risk assessment of the terrestrial ecotoxicology guidance document.
