Abstract
Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans on earth. They crawl through the soil, preying on bacteria and each other. They live in the bodies of vertebrates and in the roots, shoots or seeds of plants. They live in Antarctic ice, in high-temperature environments and at the bottom of the oceans. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the best-understood organisms and is a favorite model for developmental geneticists and scientists studying human disease. Unfortunately, the diversity of nematodes and their behaviors, life cycles and physiology are rarely part of biology programs, and it seems that fewer books are published about the subject each decade.
