Nematodes as Environmental Indicators

From Theory to Practice
A new and updated edition on environmental nematology, addressing the study of nematodes, at various levels (molecular, cellular, organismal and community) and as part of their ecosystems, in order to utilise them towards addressing pertinent issues and problems with environmental change.
Nematodes are the most widespread multicellular animals in nature and analysis of nematodes in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments, as well as their role and function in ecosystems, can be used for environmental biomonitoring. This new edition addresses pertinent environmental issues, for example climate change and work across large spatial scales, and how these are reflected onto nematode communities. It also discusses how nematode communities may be utilised to gain relevant knowledge to mitigate the effects of these threats. Other new topics include: -Nematodes as indicators of sustainable agriculture -Nematodes in
