Current Biology, 2013 SummaryTo today’s experimental biologists, the best known nematode is Caenorhabditis elegans, one of the major model organisms for genetic and biomedical research, the first metazoan with a sequenced genome and a key partner in the winning of three Nobel prizes — for the discoveries of programmed cell death and RNA interference, and for the development

Genetics, 2022 AbstractThe nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has shed light on many aspects of eukaryotic biology, including genetics, development, cell biology, and genomics. A major factor in the success of C. elegans as a model organism has been the availability, since the late 1990s, of an essentially gap-free and well-annotated nuclear genome sequence, divided ...

Nematode-Trapping Fungi Eavesdrop on Nematode Pheromones [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 The recognition of molecular patterns associated with specific pathogens or food sources is fundamental to ecology and plays a major role in the evolution of predator-prey relationships. Recent studies showed that nematodes produce an evolutionarily highly conserved family of small molecules, the ascarosides, which serve essential functions in ...

Entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 What are entomopathogenic nematodes? Nematodes seem to have evolved to occupy nearly every niche imaginable, including a wide diversity of parasitic niches. Among the vast variety of parasitic nematodes, some have evolved an association with insect-pathogenic bacteria. Together the bacteria and nematode are a lethal duo.

A revision of the parasitoid wasp genus Alphomelon Mason with the description of 30 new species (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 The parasitoid wasp genus Alphomelon Mason, 1981 is revised, based on a combination of basic morphology (dichotomous key and brief diagnostic descriptions), DNA barcoding, biology (host data and wasp cocoons), and distribution data. A total of 49 species
