TL;DR: High-resolution spatial maps of the global abundance of soil nematodes and the composition of functional groups show that soil nematode are found in higher abundances in sub-Arctic regions, than in temperate or tropical regions.

TL;DR: Preliminary results indicate the M. mayaguensis isolates from Florida can reproduce on tomato containing the Mi gene, and will be particularly useful in cases of M. mustaguensis populations mixed with M. arenaria, M. incognita, and M. javanica, which are the most economically important root-knot nematode species in Florida.

TL;DR: An attempt to estimate nematode diversity in the lowland tropical rainforest of La Selva Biological Research Station in Costa Rica highlights the difficulties associated with studying poorly understood organisms in an understudied ecosystem using a destructive (i.e. barcode) sampling method.

TL;DR: A regional nematode survey of potato fields was conducted in the central United States during 2002 and 2003 and included a morphological and molecular examination of nematodes of regulatory concern from 1,929 soil samples.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstructions based on 18S rDNA sequence data indicate that Dorylaimida is a monophyletic lineage, but that there is a deep division within Nygolaimina, giving rise to the possibility that Nygollaimina is paraphyletic.
