About the Book

Nematodes are the most widespread 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. Compared to other organisms, they offer the greatest potential as bioindicators and can be used to study gene expression in relation to environmental challenges, to monitor changing impacts on the environment and in laboratory ecotoxicity tests. This volume will address classical and molecular approaches to nematode community analysis, the contemporary field of nematodes as biosensors, as well as geonomic and post geonomic aspects of nematode bioindicators. In addition, case studies will stress the importance of these bioindicators and demonstrate the commercial potential of these technologies. Providing a timely review of research into nematodes and environmental monitoring, this book will be essential reading for researchers in nematology and environmental science.

About the Author :
Thomais Kakouli-Duarte holds a BSc (Hons) in Crop Production from the University of Western Macedonia in Greece and an MSc and a PhD from the University of Reading, UK, under the supervision of the late Nigel Hague. She is currently a biosciences and ecology lecturer on the Carlow campus of the South East Technological University (SETU) in Ireland. In SETU she leads the Molecular Ecology and Nematode Research Group and she is also the co-Director of enviroCORE, SETU's centre of research and enterprise in bio-environmental technologies. Her current research is transdisciplinary, investigating how nematodes respond to novel bio-based fertilisers in the part-funded Interreg-NWE ReNu2Cycle project, how telecommunications principles can be applied to model molecular interactions between nematodes and bacteria and how humanities, plant science, digital education and environmental nematology can work together for soil health.
