General Information
| Name: |
Pristionchus pacificus |
| NCBI Taxid: |
54126 |
| Description: |
Pristionchus pacificus is an hermaphroditic nematode with a cosmopolitan distribution encompassing Africa, Asia, America, and Europe. In a series of studies since 2004, we have shown that P. pacificus is not only diverse genetically, but also has ample natural variation in many phenotypic traits. As such, P. pacificus represents a model organism for integrative approaches focused on evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), evolutionary ecology, and population genetics. |
