Root-emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a critical role in below-ground ecological interactions by mediating communication between plants, pests, and their natural enemies.

Ultraconserved Elements and Machine Learning Classifiers Enable Robust Phylogenetics and Taxonomy in Model and Non-Model Nematodes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nematodes are among the most diverse animals, yet only around 28,000 of an estimated one million species have been morphologically described. Their small size, morphological simplicity, and cryptic diversity complicate phylogenetic analyses. Traditional morphological and single‐locus molecular approaches often lack resolution for both recent ...

The nematode Oscheius tipulae as a genetic model for programmed DNA elimination. [PDF]
Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) is a notable exception to the paradigm of genome integrity. In metazoa, PDE often occurs coincident with germline to somatic cell differentiation. During PDE, portions of genomic DNA are lost, resulting in reduced somatic genomes.

The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes. [PDF]
Through convergent evolution, the entomopathogeny in nematodes is widespread within the Rhaditidae families, owing to the shared ecological and evolutionary attributes raised from saprophagy, phoresis, and necromeny. Abstract Understanding how parasites evolved is crucial to understand the host and parasite interaction.

Comparative developmental studies using Oscheius/Dolichorhabditis sp. CEW1 (Rhabditidae) [PDF]
AbstractIn order to study the evolution of nematode vulva development, we focus on Oscheius/Dolichorhabditis sp. CEW1 (Rhabditidae) in comparison with Caenorhabditis elegans. In this species, the fates of the vulval precursor cells are determined by two successive nested inductions by the uterine anchor cell (instead of a single one in C.

Abstract The recent invasion of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica Newman (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in northern Italy offered the opportunity to explore the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) associated with the soil of hay meadows. A total of 61 sites were considered for nematode sampling, and from 17 of them (27.9%) EPNs were isolated and further ...

Caenorhabditis nematodes colonize ephemeral resource patches in neotropical forests
Caenorhabditis nematodes are real animals that live in nature. Field collections and experiments in tropical forests reveal new information about their diversity, ecology, behavior, phylogenetics, population biology, and biogeography. Abstract Factors shaping the distribution and abundance of species include life‐history traits, population structure ...
