A locus in Pristionchus pacificus that is responsible for the ability to give rise to fertile offspring at higher temperatures [PDF]
Biology Open, 2016 Temperature is a stress factor that varies temporally and spatially, and can affect the fitness of cold-blooded organisms, leading to a loss of reproductive output; however, little is understood about the genetics behind the long-term response of ...

Convergent evolution of small molecule pheromones in Pristionchus nematodes
eLife, 2020 The small molecules that mediate chemical communication between nematodes—so-called ‘nematode-derived-modular-metabolites’ (NDMMs)—are of major interest because of their ability to regulate development, behavior, and life-history.

Pristionchus nematodes occur frequently in diverse rotting vegetal substrates and are not exclusively necromenic, while Panagrellus redivivoides is found specifically in rotting fruits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The lifestyle and feeding habits of nematodes are highly diverse. Several species of Pristionchus (Nematoda: Diplogastridae), including Pristionchus pacificus, have been reported to be necromenic, i.e.

Culture-based analysis of Pristionchus-associated microbiota from beetles and figs for studying nematode-bacterial interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The interplay with bacteria is of crucial importance for the interaction of multicellular organisms with their environments. Studying the associations between the nematode model organisms Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus with bacteria ...

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 ...

Life-History Traits of the Model Organism Pristionchus pacificus Recorded Using the Hanging Drop Method: Comparison with Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The nematode Pristionchus pacificus is of growing interest as a model organism in evolutionary biology. However, despite multiple studies of its genetics, developmental cues, and ecology, the basic life-history traits (LHTs) of P.
