Body size is a crucial functional trait of nematodes, which determines the biological and physiological processes and provides more comprehensive information concerning the ecological role of nematodes. To investigate how the body size attributes of marine nematodes indicate the environmental changes in ...
It is widely held that the bilaterian tubular gut with mouth and anus evolved from a simple gut with one major gastric opening. However, there is no consensus on how this happened. Did the single gastric opening evolve into a mouth, with the anus forming elsewhere in the body (protostomy)...

The daf-2(e1368) nematodes, which move differently and are physiologically distinct from wild type, were assayed after 120 min. Animals were excluded from the analysis if they failed to clear the inner circle, were sitting on the marked lines or less than 2 body lengths away from those ...

Alternatives to the now infamous compound keep popping up. But researchers aren’t convinced they’re any better for us.
A new genus of nematodes, Valvaelaimoides gen. n., from the family Linhomoeidae Filipjev, 1922 has been validated. The genus is characterized by very large and circular amphidial fovea with edges strongly sclerotized, as well as a rather complex vulva structure of the pharynx bulb. The ...
These experiments demonstrated that the radioactivity incorporated into the nematodes is significantly higher than that found in organisms used as controls, even when a single individual is analyzed (Table 1). Moreover, radioactivity measured from the nematodes incubated with radioactive substrates ...
Sexual interactions influence organismal health independently of reproduction in nematodes, flies and mammals1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. For example, males induce weight gain and shorten lifespan in female mice, independent of fertilization8,9. However, the impact of sexual interactions on health is la...
Interestingly, the coding strand bias was not present in the first third of the gene body that was also characterized by normal or even higher nascent RNA and RNAPII levels, indicating that transcriptional decline correlates with coding strand bias. Thus, DNA damage-induced transcriptional stress ...
