Morphology and Bionomics of Dorylaims (Nematoda, Dorylaimida) /
Dorylaims are probably the most diverse order of nematodes and are often an abundant component of the fauna in soils and freshwater habitats. As a result of their widespread distribution and many different feeding habits, they are considered as good bio-indicators of environmental quality and soil h...
