Nematodes as environmental indicators.
Editor(s): Wilson, M. J. Kakouli-Duarte, T.
2009 CABI (H ISBN 9781845933852)
The book comprises four parts. The first part (Chapters 1-3) deals with background issues relating to nematodes themselves and to bioindicators in general. Part II (Chapters 4-8) describes practical aspects of using nematode assemblages as...

The role of nematodes in ecosystems.
Chapter: 1 (Page no: 1)
Author(s): Yeates, G. W. Ferris, H. Moens, T. Putten, W. H. van der
2009 CABI
This chapter tries to define the importance of nematodes in ecosystems. It is hoped that this chapter proves nematodes as being good indicators of environmental health, in addition to their role as key drivers of many ecosystem...

Nematode diversity in terrestrial, freshwater aquatic and marine systems.
Chapter: 2 (Page no: 45)
Author(s): Hodda, M. Peters, L. Traunspurger, W.
2009 CABI
This chapter is an attempt to bring together the studies of nematode diversity in terrestrial, freshwater aquatic and marine environments, and to synthesize these into some sort of general hypotheses. Such hypotheses can then be used as the bases...

Molecular markers, indicator taxa, and community indices: the issue of bioindication accuracy.
Chapter: 3 (Page no: 94)
Author(s): Ekschmitt, K. Korthals, G.
2009 CABI
This chapter focuses on the bioindication of soil contamination and analyses the levels of accuracy that are achieved with molecular markers, indicator taxa, and community indices. It starts by discussing the fundamental difference between...

General community indices that can be used for analysis of nematode assemblages.
Chapter: 4 (Page no: 107)
Author(s): Neher, D. A. Darby, B. J.
2009 CABI
This chapter offer recommendations on performing some of the common identity independent ('diversity') indices and suggest methods of incorporating community data into identity-explicit analysis with community assemblage and multivariate...

Indices developed specifically for analysis of nematode assemblages.
Chapter: 5 (Page no: 124)
Author(s): Ferris, H. Bongers, T.
2009 CABI
This chapter deals with the calculation, use and scope of the numerous indices developed specifically for nematode assemblages, including the widely-used maturity index. Indeed, it is the availability and broad scope of nematode-specific indices...

Ecotoxicity testing with nematodes.
Chapter: 9 (Page no: 208)
Author(s): Höss, S. Williams, P. L.
2009 CABI

Transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans as biosensors.
Chapter: 10 (Page no: 225)
Author(s): Lagido, C.
2009 CABI
This chapter focuses on transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans developed for ecotoxicology purposes to the end of 2007. This chapter discusses how transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans strains are generated and reviews literature concerning their use in...
