This book provides a unique, comprehensive review of current knowledge of the behaviour of nematodes. Key topics including locomotion, orientation, feeding, osmoregulation, excretion, ageing and reproductive behaviour, and biotic and abiotic interactions are reviewed. The physiological, biochemical and molecular bases of behaviour are discussed, and information on nematode population dynamics and survival strategies are given. It also consists of authoritative chapters from international experts offering an account of recent findings, including important insights gained from Caenorhabditis elegans, that may be broadly applied. In addition to specialists in nematology, this book will be of interest to those with backgrounds in behaviour, plant pathology, entomology, ecology, zoology, evolutionary biology and parasitology.
