Influence of Temperature on the Physiology and Virulence of the Insect Pathogen Serratia sp. Strain SCBI [PDF]
, 2012 The physiology of a newly recognized Serratia species, termed South African Caenorhabditis briggsae Isolate (SCBI), which is both a nematode mutualist and an insect pathogen, was investigated and compared to that of Serratia marcescens Db11, a broad-host-

Evidence of hermaphroditism and sex ratio distortion in the fungal feeding nematode Bursaphelenchus okinawaensis [PDF]
, 2014 Nematodes have many different reproductive strategies along with their divergent life-histories; the ability of hermaphrodite to self- and cross-fertilize is useful for genetic manipulation.

Robustness and evolution: concepts, insights and challenges from a developmental model system. [PDF]
, 2006 International audienceRobustness, the persistence of an organismal trait under perturbations, is a ubiquitous property of complex living systems. We here discuss key concepts related to robustness with examples from vulva development in the nematode ...

Spontaneous mutation accumulation in multiple strains of the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
, 2014 Estimates of mutational parameters, such as the average fitness effect of a new mutation and the rate at which new genetic variation for fitness is created by mutation, are important for the understanding of many biological processes. However, the causes

Oscheius microvilli n. sp. (Nematoda: Rhabditidae): A Facultatively Pathogenic Nematode from Chongming Island, China [PDF]
Journal of Nematology, 2017 Abstract A new species, Oscheius microvilli n. sp., was found on Chongming Island (Shanghai, China). The new species is morphologically similar to the type strain of Oscheius myriophilus, but can be distinguished from it and other species of Oscheius on the basis of unique morphological characteristics of the bursa as well as male ...

Sex-specific lifespan and its evolution in nematodes [PDF]
, 2017 Differences between sexes of the same species in lifespan and aging rate are widespread. While the proximal and evolutionary causes of aging are well researched, the factors that contribute to sex differences in these traits have been less studied.
