The nematodes (/ ˈ n ɛ m ə t oʊ d z / NEM-ə-tohdz or NEEM-; Ancient Greek: Νηματώδη; Latin: Nematoda), roundworms or eelworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. Species in the phylum inhabit a broad range of environments. Most species are free-living, feeding on microorganisms, but many are parasitic.
Tylenchidae is a family of nematodes. They are an important group of soil dwelling species that frequently contributes as much as 30% to the nematode species richness of soil samples. [ 2 ] They diverged relatively early on and many species pose little risk to economically important plant species. [ 2 ]
Enoplia is regarded as the earliest nematode branch, according to recent phylogenetic analysis. [5] Enoplia is mentioned as a sister clade to Dorylaima and Chromadoria. [ 5 ] [ 6 ]
Enoplea (enopleans) is a class, which with the classes Secernentea [1] and Chromadorea make up the phylum Nematoda in current taxonomy. [2] [3] [4] The Enoplea are considered to be a more ancestral group than the Chromadorea, and researchers have referred to its members as the "ancestrally diverged nematodes", compared to the "more recently diverged nematodes" of Chromadorea.
Ecdysozoa (/ ˌ ɛ k d ɪ s oʊ ˈ z oʊ ə /) is a group of protostome animals, [9] including Arthropoda (insects, chelicerata (including arachnids), crustaceans, and myriapods), Nematoda, and several smaller phyla.
List of Nematoda has 25,000 recorded species from the Nematode phylum. There are estimated to be a million. [1]
Enopla is one of the classes of the worm phylum Nemertea, ... Physical characteristics. Enoplan nemerteans are generally small, from less than 1 centimetre (0.4 in ...
Enoplida is an order of nematodes. It is one of two orders in Enoplia, which is one of two subclasses in Class Enoplea. [1] [2] These nematodes are mostly free-living marine animals. [3] Most feed on diatoms and other algaes. [1]
