In natural ecosystems, bacterial communities play an important role in nutrient cycling, primary production and decomposition 1. Bacteria are also heavily consumed by bacterivorous nematodes that are ...

Ok, well a “penis” in male nematodes is actually a hard copulatory spine called a genital spicule–males physically pry open the female’s vulva–but you get the idea. What better way to open a blog post ...

In the Mesorhabditis belari roundworm, the sole purpose of males is to help females produce clones of themselves. In 1949, the young biologist Victor Nigon described the reproduction of various ...
