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 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...

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...

This paper discusses the biology, origin and molecular systematics (species identification and phylogenetic analysis) of nematodes. The taxonomy and systematics of Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae (morphology, taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships) are also discussed. Future prospects are...
