- Title
Is it time to 'wave' goodbye to 'nictating' nematodes?
- Authors
KRUITBOS, Laura M.; WILSON, Michael J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the use of the terms "body waving" and "nictation" which refer to the ability of some nematodes to raise their bodies above the substrate. The use of "nictating" is believed to be used by Hesling in his study of the swarming behaviour of mycophagus nematodes. The term "nictation" has been redefined by Campbell and Gaugler for when more than 95% of the nematode's body was raised and the term "body waving" for when 30-95% was raised.
