This book provides a unique, comprehensive review of current knowledge of the behaviour of nematodes. Key topics including locomotion, orientation, feeding, osmoregulation, excretion, ageing and reproductive behaviour, and biotic and abiotic interactions are reviewed. The physiological, biochemical...
