    Morphological differences between free-living soil and freshwater nematodes in relation to their environments

    There is no single feature to distinguish free-living soil nematodes from freshwater nematodes, also because all free-living nematodes are essentially aquatic. This notwithstanding, by examining the frequencies of some characters of 1141 European species, differences of qualitative/quantitative characters between soil and freshwater nematodes were found. In particular, aquatic and semiaquatic species are, on average, longer and slimmer than soil species, have a longer tail, greater body weight, smooth cuticle and larger amphids. A new body parameter, length of the pharynx in relation to the length of the whole digestive tract (e), was also taken into consideration

    In questo ottavo capitolo si descrivono le diverse comunità di nematodi nei differenti ecosistemi e come il loro studio possa indicare lo stato di conservazione e qualità dell'ecosistema stesso. Si riportano anche differenti esempi del loro impiego quali bioindicator
