Course on Nematode Systematics and Phylogeny - Spring 2025
The course provides advanced knowledge on taxonomy and systematics of free-living, plant-parasitic, and animal-parasitic nematodes. It uses their morphological and molecular characterization as basis for understanding nematode evolutionary relationships, classification, and identification.
Dr. Byron Adams is interested in nematode ecology and evolution. He studies insect-associated nematodes, and nematology as applied to questions about how terrestrial ecosystems, respond to historical and contemporary climate change, and how nematodes have evolved to survive environmental stress.
