Local adaptation and spatiotemporal patterns of genetic diversity revealed by repeated sampling of Caenorhabditis elegans across the Hawaiian Islands

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 2327-2347, April 2022., 2022
Abstract The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is among the most widely studied organisms, but relatively little is known about its natural ecology. Genetic diversity is low across much of the globe but high in the Hawaiian Islands and across the Pacific Rim. To characterize the niche and genetic diversity of C.

Oscheius tipulae in Italy: Evidence of an Alien Isolate in the Integral Natural Reserve of Montecristo Island (Tuscany) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nematology, 2016
Montecristo Island is an integral natural reserve of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park (Central Italy), characterized by a peculiar assemblage of flora and fauna, with several endemic taxa, and also with a high number of alien species.

Distribution and diversity of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) in a South African nature reserve

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2021
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are microscopic roundworms that are found in soil worldwide. They deliver an important ecosystem service through preventing natural flares in insect reproduction by means of utilising the soil stages of insects as a food

A Large Collection of Novel Nematode-Infecting Microsporidia and Their Diverse Interactions with Caenorhabditis elegans and Other Related Nematodes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2016
Microsporidia are fungi-related intracellular pathogens that may infect virtually all animals, but are poorly understood. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has recently become a model host for studying microsporidia through the identification of its ...

Genotypic relationships and phylogeography of the genus Oscheius (Rhabditidae: Rhabditomorpha) with a new entomopathogenic isolate of Oscheius tipulae Lam and Webster, 1971

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract Purpose Oscheius tipulae has attracted attention of researchers due to its entomopathogenic character besides serving as a good model for studying development, behaviour, and host-parasite interactions. The main aim of the study is to describe a new isolate O. tipulae first time from India. The study also resolved the exact status of

An Entomopathogenic Nematode by Any Other Name [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Among the diversity of insect-parasitic nematodes, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are distinct, cooperating with insect-pathogenic bacteria to kill insect hosts.

Oscheius tipulae [PDF]

open access: yesWormBook, 2006
Oscheius tipulae is a common soil nematode of the same family as C. elegans (Rhabditidae), which presents the same hermaphroditic mode of reproduction and is easily cultured in the same conditions. Oscheius tipulae has been used as a developmental genetic model system to study vulva formation. Compared to C.

Reproductive efficiency of entomopathogenic nematodes as scavengers. Are they able to fight for insect’s cadavers? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and their bacterial partners are well-studied insect pathogens, and their persistence in soils is one of the key parameters for successful use as biological control agents in agroecosystems.

Caenorhabditis nomenclature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Genetic nomenclature allows the genetic features of an organism to be structured and described in a uniform and systematicway. Genetic features, including genes, variations (both natural and induced), and gene products, are assigned descriptorsthat ...
