Developmental plasticity facilitates morphological and behavioral novelty. Nematodes have
emerged as a powerful model to study developmental plasticity and its evolution. Here, we …

Developmental plasticity has been suggested to facilitate phenotypic diversity, but the
molecular mechanisms underlying this relationship are little understood. We analyzed a …

This paper summarizes the trends in nematode species description and systematics
emerging from a comparison of the latest comprehensive classification and census of …

This paper details a system for classifying the trophic relationships of the entire Phylum
Nematoda, together with a table specifying the categories of every valid genus. This system …

The present article focuses on the inventory of nematode-insect association, its nature,
prevalence, specificity and the preferred invasion sites of nematodes in the insect hosts. The …

Resource polyphenism—the occurrence of environmentally induced, discrete, and
intraspecific morphs showing differential niche use—is taxonomically widespread and …

Polyphenisms can be adaptations to environments that are heterogeneous in space and
time, but to persist they require conditional-specific advantages. The nematode Pristionchus …

The model organism Pristionchus pacificus and the genus Pristionchus, Kreis, 1932 have
been intensively studied in the last decade with contemporary work focusing on the …

The lifestyle and feeding habits of nematodes are highly diverse. Several species of
Pristionchus (Nematoda: Diplogastridae), including Pristionchus pacificus, have been …
