Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal adaptation of entomopathogenic nematodes: Niche breadth for infection, establishment, and reproduction
TL;DR: It is concluded that entomopathogenic nematode species have well-defined thermal niches which may be unaffected by their locality, and that heterorhabditids are endemic to warmer climates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host finding behaviour as a predictor of foraging strategy in entomopathogenic nematodes
TL;DR: It is concluded that H. bacteriophora, H. megidis, S. anomali and S. glaseri cruise to find hosts, whereas S. scapterisci ambush hosts are intermediary in the search continuum sharing some characteristics of both ambush and cruise foragers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of infective stage parasites (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) to volatile cues from infected hosts
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the infective juvenile nematode may reduce inter- and intraspecific competition by responding differently to unparasitized hosts vs. hosts parasitized by conspecific or heterospecific nematodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host recognition by entomopathogenic nematodes: behavioral response to contact with host feces
TL;DR: It is suggested that ammonia present in cockroach feces is inhibitory to nematode, and specific host recognition by entomopathogenic nematodes may be an important mechanism to maintain host affinities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host recognition behavior by entomopathogenic nematodes during contact with insect gut contents
TL;DR: This work tested whether host recognition by entomopathogenic nematodes occurs through contact with insect gut contents and whether this recognition is important to successful infection.
