Research by the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen reveals how nematodes can rapidly change to predatory behaviour through long-term environmental exposure. Over 101 generations, dietary ...

Nematodes are typically small animals that to the naked eye look very much alike; however, these creatures are fantastically diverse —on a par with the arthropods in terms of species diversity. At ...
Nematode‐trapping fungi are a unique group of filamentous organisms that have evolved sophisticated mechanisms for capturing and utilising nematodes as a nutritional resource. Their ability to switch ...
These predatory worms have figured out meal delivery. Called entomopathogenic (for insect-killing) nematodes, they infect and feed on an insect, then multiply within its carcass. While feeding, the ...
Gardeners commonly use nematodes to naturally get rid of harmful soil-dwelling insects. A new study published today in the journal Functional Ecology revealed that these insect-killing nematodes also ...
