Navigation of C. elegans in three-dimensional media: roll maneuvers and planar turns [PDF]
, 2016 Free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful genetic model, essential for investigations ranging from behavior to neuroscience to aging, and locomotion is a key observable used in these studies. However, despite the fact that in its natural environment C. elegans moves in three-dimensional (3D) complex media (decomposing organic matter and

An inversion in the wiring of an intercellular signal: evolution of Wnt signaling in the nematode vulva [PDF]
BioEssays 27 (2005) 765-769, 2005 Signal transduction pathways are largely conserved throughout the animal kingdom. The repertoire of pathways is limited and each pathway is used in different intercellular signaling events during the development of a given animal. For example, Wnt signaling is recruited, sometimes redundantly with other molecular pathways, in four cell specification ...

Pathogenicity of indigenous entomopathogenic nematodes from Benin against mango fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) under laboratory conditions [PDF]
, 2018 Bactrocera dorsalis fruit fly is the economically most significant tephritid pest species on Mango, Mangifera indica L., in Benin, and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) represent good candidates for its control in the soil.

The distribution of lectins across the phylum Nematoda : a genome-wide search [PDF]
, 2017 Nematodes are a very diverse phylum that has adapted to nearly every ecosystem. They have developed specialized lifestyles, dividing the phylum into free-living, animal, and plant parasitic species. Their sheer abundance in numbers and presence in nearly

Material properties of of Caenorhabditis elegans swimming at low Reynolds number [PDF]
, 2009 Undulatory locomotion, as seen in the nematode \emph{Caenorhabditis elegans}, is a common swimming gait of organisms in the low Reynolds number regime, where viscous forces are dominant. While the nematode's motility is expected to be a strong function of its material properties, measurements remain scarce.

High-throughput Phenotyping of Nematode Cysts [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The beet cyst nematode (BCN) Heterodera schachtii is a plant pest responsible for crop loss on a global scale. Here, we introduce a high-throughput system based on computer vision that allows quantifying BCN infestation and characterizing nematode cysts through phenotyping.

Soil nematode communities in grasslands [PDF]
, 2007 This thesis summarizes the results of five studies investigating the effect of plant species on soil nematode communities in grasslands. Nematodes (roundworms) are ubiquitous members of the soil fauna and have been much used as indicators of soil ...
