Phylum Nematoda

Abstract

A taxonomic review of Nematoda occurring in the Neotropical and Antarctic Regions is presented in this chapter. Dichotomous identification keys to genus level based on the most recent literature are provided. These are coupled with the necessary material preparation methods, defined relevant morphological terms, and current limitations in our knowledge of the group. Additional information on the “Ecology and General Biology” of this group can be found in Volume I of this book series (Thorp & Rogers, 2015, Elsevier).
