Scientific Data - High-resolution single-nematode transcriptomic datasets of plant-parasitic nematodes from juveniles to adults

A new study shows that resilient and remarkably diverse populations of organisms can persist in the soil despite harsh and extremely dry conditions.

Exploring microscopic animals that shape marine ecosystems, June 8-18, 2026 at Tjärnö Marine Laboratory on the Swedish west coast.

Recent molecular phylogenies of Nematoda have suggested a sister-group relationship between Dorylaimia and Chromadoria, but supporting morphological evidence has so far been lacking. Using immunohisto...

Nematodes are among the most diverse animals, yet only around 28,000 of an estimated one million species have been morphologically described. Their small size, morphological simplicity, and cryptic d...

As part of a collaboration between WoRMS and Edaphobase, the World Database of Nematodes (Nemys) has been integrated as the official taxonomic backbone for Nematoda in Edaphobase.

Scientists captured nematodes that stack themselves into a wriggling, vertical tower for the first time. Watch the tiny architects in action.

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 28 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00044-xAquatic eDNA-based technologies offer the potential for universal and standardized biodiversity monitoring. In this Perspective, Altermatt et al. discuss how these technologies can help to achieve the targets of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework through informing appropriate policy and actions, and describe the next steps required for widespread and equitable use of these technologies.

The soil eukaryome constitutes a significant portion of Earth's biodiversity that drives major ecosystem functions, such as controlling carbon fluxes and plant performance. Currently, however, we mis...

A rare fossil has been identified as an ancient species of internal parasite.

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 24 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00045-wParasites and their hosts can have complex ecological interactions and evolutionary histories. This Perspective argues that parasites are a major driver of host speciation and outlines an empirical framework for testing this hypothesis.
