The complete mitochondrial genome of parasitic nematode Camallanus cotti: extreme discontinuity in the rate of mitogenomic architecture evolution within the Chromadorea class [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Complete mitochondrial genomes are much better suited for the taxonomic identification and phylogenetic studies of nematodes than morphology or traditionally-used molecular markers, but they remain unavailable for the entire Camallanidae ...

New nematode species (Nematoda: Chromadorea) and records from the New Zealand continental shelf
European Journal of TaxonomyLittle is known about the diversity of free-living nematodes of New Zealand’s continental shelf environments. A preliminary analysis of samples obtained from the continental shelf along the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island revealed the presence ...

Molecular phylogeny of Chromadorea supports genus reclassification of Desmodorida and Microlaimida with the description of two new species from the Yellow Sea, China [PDF]
Zoosystematics and EvolutionPhylogenetic relationships within the marine Chromadorea are complex, and the taxonomic positions at the family and genus levels remain flexible due to discrepancies between morphological and molecular evidence.

Inverted base composition skews and discontinuous mitochondrial genome architecture evolution in the Enoplea (Nematoda) [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Within the class Enoplea, the earliest-branching lineages in the phylum Nematoda, the relatively highly conserved ancestral mitochondrial architecture of Trichinellida is in stark contrast to the rapidly evolving architecture of Dorylaimida ...
