This paper presents a comparative account of the feeding behaviour of plant-parasitic, predatory, insect-parasitic and microbivore nematodes, focusing on the structure and function of the feeding apparatus, feeding types, behavioural aspects of food search and feeding mechanisms, post-feeding...

This paper discusses nematode behaviour adaptations in relation to various ecological and environmental conditions, and analyses the significance of ongoing adaptive processes in nematode behaviour and their role in practical applications.

This paper discusses the evolution of innovation in nematode production technology, explains specific methodologies, and considers challenges while providing guidelines for prospective producers.

Recent research developments on the biogeography of nematodes are discussed.

This paper considers all types of nematode reproductive mechanisms and the traditional and non-traditional reproductive behavioural characteristics that accompany them. Various aspects related to the diversity in nematode reproductive biology are discussed, including sex determination and...

Ageing is defined as the time-independent series of cumulative, progressive, intrinsic and deleterious functional and structural changes that usually begin to manifest themselves at reproductive maturity and eventually culminate in death. This paper describes age-dependent nematode behaviour during ...

This paper discusses the ecological and behavioural physiology of osmoregulation and excretion in free living and animal parasitic nematodes. It integrates these two mechanisms so as to explain the changes in nematode behaviour occurring due to osmotic stresses and excretion of nitrogenous waste...

This paper discusses the physiological and biochemical (including some molecular) aspects of the behavioural responses of free living and plant parasitic nematodes.

This paper describes the various aspects of nematode behaviour at the molecular level using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model. It also discusses how classic and reverse genetic approaches may be employed to elucidate the molecular basis of behaviour.

This paper details the various types of locomotion and discusses the role of the hydrostatic skeleton and neuromuscular control in locomotion. It explains how movements are achieved and controlled, how propulsive forces are generated against external substrates, what role the neuromuscular system...
