Multidimensional competition of nematodes affects plastic traits in a beetle ecosystem
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Resource competition has driven the evolution of novel polyphenisms in numerous organisms, enhancing fitness in constantly changing environmental conditions.

Macroecological and Biogeographic Patterns of Kinorhyncha in the Iberian Peninsula
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Biogeography and macroecology aim to understand the processes that determine patterns in nature. In the marine environment, most of what we know has been documented for fish and macrobenthic organisms. As a result, this knowledge is negatively biased towards smaller benthic organisms, including meiofauna.

Stomatal Dimorphism of Neodiplogaster acaloleptae (Diplogastromorpha: Diplogastridae).
PLoS ONE, 2016 Several genera belonging to the nematode family Diplogastridae show characteristic dimorphism in their feeding structures; specifically, they have microbial feeding stenostomatous and predatory eurystomatous morphs. A diplogastrid satellite model species,

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Public molecular databases (i.e., SILVA, EUKARYOME, BOLD) for most microbial metazoan phyla (nematodes, tardigrades, kinorhynchs, etc.) are sparsely populated, negatively impacting our ability to assign ecologically meaningful taxonomy to these understudied groups.

Orphan genes are not a distinct biological entity
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 1, January 2025.Orphan genes represent genes with no homologs in other species and are widely assumed to represent genuine species‐specific loci. We show that molecular evolution and sequence homology analyses reject this assumption and that orphan genes constitute a patchwork of genes of different evolutionary ages that originate throughout various mechanisms ...

Natural variation of outcrossing in the hermaphroditic nematode
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Evolution of selfing can be associated with an increase in fixation of deleterious mutations, which in certain conditions can lead to species extinction.

miR‐4448/Girdin/Akt/AMPK axis inhibits EZH2‐mediated EMT and tumorigenesis in small‐cell lung cancer
Cancer Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 19, October 2024.Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) showed high enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) expression and promoted epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), and miR‐4448 prevented EZH2‐mediated EMT and tumorigenesis by modulating the Girdin/Akt/AMP‐activated protein kinase axis. miR‐4448 might be a potential SCLC inhibitor. Abstract Background Small‐cell lung cancer (

Evolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 2, March 2024.CRISPR‐based knock‐outs of NHR‐1 and NHR‐40 in Caenorhabditis elegans do not cause any quantitative changes in mouth morphology, even though both NHRs are coexpressed in mouth tissues. Comparative transcriptomics reveals that NHR‐1 and NHR‐40 have vastly different regulatory targets in “rhabditids” and diplogastrids.
