A cell-specific enhancer that specifies lin-3 expression in the C. elegans anchor cell for vulval development [PDF]
During C. elegans vulval development, the anchor cell (AC) in the somatic gonad expresses lin-3, activating the EGF receptor signaling pathway in vulval precursor cells (VPCs) and thereby inducing and patterning VPCs.

Molecular profiling of nematode associates with Rhynchophorus ferrugineus in southern Italy
The manuscript concerns the molecular identification of nematodes associated with Rhynchophorus ferrugineus by using the reverse taxonomy approach. The aim of this study was to characterize the nematofauna at level of ecological, evolutionary, and population genomics.

Abstract Soil nematode communities and food web indices can inform about the complexity, nutrient flows and decomposition pathways of soil food webs, reflecting soil quality. Relative abundance of nematode feeding and life‐history groups are used for calculating food web indices, i.e., maturity index (MI), enrichment index (EI), structure index (SI ...

Di‐2‐ethylhexylphthalate May Be a Natural Product, Rather than a Pollutant
Di‐2‐ethylhexylphtalate is an ester of phthalic acid that has been used as plasticizer in many materials. Due to the extended use, it has been persistently found in different environments being classified as a pollutant with some risks for human health.

A telomere-to-telomere assembly of Oscheius tipulae and the evolution of rhabditid nematode chromosomes [PDF]
Abstract Eukaryotic chromosomes have phylogenetic persistence. In many taxa, each chromosome has a single functional centromere with essential roles in spindle attachment and segregation. Fusion and fission can generate chromosomes with no or multiple centromeres, leading to genome instability.
