Download or read book Ecology of Freshwater Nematodes written by Walter Traunspurger and published by CABI. This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nematodes are incontestably the most numerous and the most diverse metazoans in freshwater habitats, and these properties bestow exceptional significance to their role in the environment. An array of functional roles has been attributed to them: they are grazers on bacteria and primary producers, regulators of decomposition of plant material, predators, prey for other animals, and closely associated symbionts of bacteria and other organisms. Freshwater nematodes are central in the context of environmental monitoring, pollution assessments, global warming and food webs, and this is increasingly being recognized. Moreover, the short generation time (a few days to months) of many species makes nematodes ideal for laboratory studies. This book offers guidelines for studying the ecology of free-living nematodes, including detailed protocols and case studies.

Download or read book New Horizons in Meiobenthos Research written by Olav Giere and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since research on meiobenthos was last compiled in a textbook (2008/2009), the number of theoretical and applied studies has been growing rapidly. Supported by new methods and digital evaluation, meiobenthology has developed into a wide field, with more and more researchers studying cross-disciplinary aspects. New perspectives were summarized in a booklet (2019) to draw attention to promising research directions. The present book, written by leading experts, is a compilation of new thinking, data, methods and approaches in many relevant fields of recent meiobenthos research. The topics addressed range from bacteria and biofilms to globally changing processes, from polar regions to the deep-sea and from freshwater ecosystems to the ocean. So, this book is not simply another meiobenthos textbook - it is an attempt to identify new horizons in meiobenthos research, driven by the vision of advancing knowledge and understanding of benthic ecosystems.

Book excerpt: Nematodes are the most numerous multi-cellular animals in the biosphere encountered in terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems among multispecies communities and are integrated in the food chain at five trophic levels according to their feeding habits. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of nematodes, including the biological control of animal-parasitic nematodes and plant-parasitic nematodes; resistance and virulence in plant-nematode interactions; free-living nematodes in the marine ecosystem; management and control of the Pine Wood Nematode and slug pest management through nematodes in agricultural and horticultural crops.
Download or read book Nematode Interactions written by M. Wajid Khan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nematode interactions are important biological phenomena and of great significance in agriculture. It is a fascinating subject which is multidisciplinary by nature, and concerns any scientist involved with plant health. There have been marked advances in our knowledge of various aspects of the subject in the last two decades. This study area has been the subject of several reviews, but there was no exclusive text on the subject. This has stressed the need to document the information, developing a unifying theme which treated nematode interactions in a holistic manner. This book is about the inter action of plant-parasitic nematodes with other plant pathogens or root symbionts, the nature of their associations, their impact on the host and con sequential interactive effects on the involved organisms. Since nematodes are at the centre of the theme, the responsibility of understanding of other plant pathogens dealt with in this book is largely delegated to the reader. I have limited the book content to interactions with biotic pathogens and root symbionts only, for various reasons. The book embodies 16 chapters, and attempts to present balanced infor mation on various aspects of nematode interactions with other plant pathogens and root symbionts. Some chapters describe general aspects of the subject. Interactions of nematodes with specific groups of organisms are addressed in the remaining chapters.
Download or read book Molecular and Physiological Basis of Nematode Survival written by Roland N. Perry and published by CABI. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nematodes are renowned for their ability to survive severe environmental fluctuations.

Download or read book Nematodes as Model Organisms written by Itamar Glazer and published by CABI. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nematodes are small multicellular organisms that have been used as biological models since the 1960s. For example, Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living nematode worm, about 1mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000 cells, and has a short life cycle of only two weeks. It was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. The book summarizes the importance of nematodes as model organisms in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. Of interest to a broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, this book is useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and pharmacologists for exploration of drugs and medicine (including the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.
Download or read book The Evolution of Parasitism A Phylogenetic Perspective written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-12-09 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parasitology continues to benefit from taking an evolutionary approach to its study. Tree construction, character-mapping, tree-based evolutionary interpretation, and other developments in molecular and morphological phylogenetics have had a profound influence and have shed new light on the very nature of host-parasite relations and their coevolution. Life cycle complexity, parasite ecology and the origins and evolution of parasitism itself are all underpinned by an understanding of phylogeny. The Evolution of Parasitism - A Phylogenetic Perspective aims to bring together a range of articles that exemplifies the phylogenetic approach as applied to various disciplines within parasitology and as applied by parasitologists. Unified by the use of phylogenies, this book tackles a wide variety of parasite-specific biological problems across a diverse range of taxa. - Includes important contributions from leading minds in the field such as Serge Morand, Francisco Ayala and Mark Blaxter, among others - Second in the ISI Parasitology List in 2002 with an Impact Factor of 4.818 - Series encompasses over 35 years of parasitology coverage
