Robust, versatile DNA FISH probes for chromosome-specific repeats in Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2022 Repetitive DNA sequences are useful targets for chromosomal fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We analyzed recent genome assemblies of Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus to identify tandem repeats with a unique genomic localization.

Analysis of meiosis in Pristionchus pacificus reveals plasticity in homolog pairing and synapsis in the nematode lineage [PDF]
eLife, 2021 Meiosis is conserved across eukaryotes yet varies in the details of its execution. Here we describe a new comparative model system for molecular analysis of meiosis, the nematode Pristionchus pacificus, a distant relative of the widely studied model ...

Different combinations of serotonin receptors regulate predatory and bacterial feeding behaviors in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2021 Feeding behavior is one of the most fundamental behaviors in animals, and regulation of this behavior is critical for proper food intake. The nematode Pristionchus pacificus exhibits dimorphism in feeding behavior, bacterial feeding and predatory feeding

Steroid hormone pathways coordinate developmental diapause and olfactory remodeling in Pristionchus pacificus. [PDF]
Genetics, 2021 Developmental and behavioral plasticity allow animals to prioritize alternative genetic programs during fluctuating environments. Behavioral remodeling may be acute in animals that interact with host organisms, since reproductive adults and the ...

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022 The vast diversity of nematodes has adapted to endure in different trophic groups as free living and parasites of plants and animals. In search of potential entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), soil samples were collected from, the rhizosphere of Apple ...

Intraguild predation between Pristionchus pacificus and Caenorhabditis elegans: a complex interaction with the potential for aggressive behaviour. [PDF]
J Neurogenet, 2020 The related nematodes Pristionchus pacificus and Caenorhabditis elegans both eat bacteria for nutrition and are therefore competitors when they exploit the same bacterial resource. In addition to competing with each other, P. pacificus is a predator of C.
