• Spatiotemporal analysis of population genetic structure in Geomonhystera disjuncta (Nematoda, Monhysteridae) reveals high levels of molecular diversity (2007, background): “Only a small fraction of the total predicted nematode diversity is currently described (e.g. Hugot et al. 2001; Blaxter et al. 2005), mainly due to their small body size (~1 mm).”
• The exploration of marine biodiversity: scientific and technological challenges (2006, background): “15 Hugot et al. (2001) give 4,070 free-living marine species, and 11,860 animal parasites but the latter figure is not partitioned into parasites of marine and non-marine vertebrates and invertebrates.”
• The Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment: an overview of the results (2008, background): “Experts currently estimate that the total diversity of extant nematodes stands at about one million species, 97% of which are undescribed (Hugot et al., 2001).”
• The Impact of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Agriculture and Methods of Control (2017, background): “Over 30,000 species of round worms are found in Nematoda [1] typically ranging in size from 0.2 mm to over 6 m. Nematode body structure is relatively simple and characterized as limbless, cylindrical, and elongated.”
• Parasite establishment in host communities (2003, background): “Parasites are a major component of species diversity ( Hugot et al. 2001 ) and play important ecological roles in population dynamics, species coexistence, and trophic interactions (Price et al. 1986; Poulin 1999).”
