Pristionchus pacificus: a satellite organism in evolutionary developmental biology
Nematology, 2000AbstractPristionchus pacificus has been described as a satellite organism, for functional comparative studies with Caenorhabditis elegans. Like C. elegans, P. pacificus is also easily cultured in the laboratory on a lawn of E. coli bacteria. P. pacificus is a hermaphroditic species with a 4-day life cycle, but unlike most nematodes which pass through ...

An integrated physical and genetic map of the nematode Pristionchus pacificus
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2003The free-living nematode Pristionchus pacificus is one of several species that have recently been developed as a satellite system for comparative functional studies in evolutionary developmental biology. Comparisons of developmental processes between P. pacificus and the well established model organism Caenorhabditis elegans at the cellular and genetic

Novel cell-cell interactions during vulva development in Pristionchus pacificus
Development, 2000ABSTRACT Vulva development differs between Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus in several ways. Seven of 12 ventral epidermal cells in P. pacificus die of apoptosis, whereas homologous cells in C. elegans fuse with the hypodermal syncytium. Vulva induction is a one-step process in C.

A wax ester promotes collective host finding in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus
Nature Chemical Biology, 2014Survival of nematode species depends on how successfully they disperse in the habitat and find a new host. As a new strategy for collective host finding in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus, dauer larvae synthesize an extremely long-chain polyunsaturated wax ester (nematoil) that covers the surface of the animal.

The genome of Pristionchus pacificus and implications for survival attributes.
2011This chapter reviews the implications of the Pristionchus pacificus genome for survival attributes. It provides an overview of the current understanding of the association of Pristionchus nematodes and other members of the Diplogastridae with insects and beetles in particular. It then discusses findings of the P.

Bacterial diet influences mutation rate in Pristionchus pacificus.
G3Mutation is a major force of evolution and its accumulation is suggested to be influenced by environmental and genetic factors in both unicellular and multicellular species.

Gene inactivation using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus
Development Genes and Evolution, 2014The diplogastrid nematode Pristionchus pacificus is a nematode model system for comparative studies to Caenorhabditis elegans and integrative evolutionary biology aiming for interdisciplinary approaches of evo-devo, population genetics, and ecology. For this, fieldwork can be combined with laboratory studies, and P.

Cilia are complex organelles involved in sensory perception and motility with intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins being essential for cilia assembly and function, but little is known about cilia in an evo‐devo context. For example, recent comparisons

The genome of Pristionchus pacificus and the evolution of parasitism.
2013This chapter summarizes recent experimental studies in the genetic model species Pristionchus pacificus, including research on the nematode's genome evolution, nematode-insect interactions, the genetic regulation of dauer larvae, and infective juvenile formation. Along with these discussions, the evolution of predation is described.
