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).

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 48, 28 August 2026.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

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.

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1779-1792, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground‐Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

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 ...

Nematode survival in relation to soil moisture [PDF]

, 1973
Established nematode populations are very persistent in the soil. It is known that they need sufficient soil moisture for movement, feeding and reproduction (fig. 5), and that there are adverse soil moisture conditions which they cannot survive.

Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition?

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
The forest floor (FF) is a key component of carbon, nutrient, and water cycling and represents the most biologically active part of forest soils. Despite its importance, its response to environmental change and forest management remains insufficiently studied.

The burrowing nematode of banana: strategies for controlling the uncontrollable

, 2018
The burrowing nematode of banana, Radopholus similis, is difficult, if not impossible, to control effectively. The lack of resistance in commercially acceptable cultivars and the perennial nature of the crop limit management options.

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.
