Pristionchus pacificus : : a nematode model for comparative and evolutionary biology / / edited by Ralf J. Sommer.
This edited volume on the nematode model Pristionchus pacificus describes an integrative approach to evolutionary biology. It aims for a merger of evolutionary and comparative biology with mechanistic approaches based on genetics and molecular biology. Insight into the function of biological systems...
