Improved phylogenomic sampling of free-living nematodes enhances resolution of higher-level nematode phylogeny
Abstract Background Nematodes are among the most diverse and abundant metazoans on Earth, but research on them has been biased toward parasitic taxa and model organisms. Free-living nematodes, particularly from the clades Enoplia and Dorylaimia, have been underrepresented in genome-scale phylogeneti...
