| Summary |
Nematodes are the most wide spread 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 monitoring. This book addresses classical and molecular approaches to nematode community analysis |
