چکیده
Pristionchus bucculentus n. sp. was isolated from a shining mushroom beetle, Episcapha gorhami, associated with white rot on a decaying log in Hokkaido, Japan. The new species is distinguished by its stomatal morphology, which includes three regularly shaped, conical left subventral denticles and a vacuolated cheilostom with weak internal sclerotization. Also distinguishing P. bucculentus n. sp. are male sexual characters, including arrangement of genital papillae, a rounded and ventrally skewed manubrium, and a gubernaculum with a large, deep posterior curvature and a short, shallow anterior curvature. Morphological and molecular evidence support the new species as being close to P. elegans, which was previously the most basal known species of the genus. Comparative morphology of basal Pristionchus species is supported by a molecular phylogeny inferred from a partial small subunit ribosomal rRNA gene and 25 ribosomal protein-coding genes. Description of P. bucculentus n. sp. provides a new point of comparison for reconstructing the evolution of stomatal characters in the comparative model system of Pristionchus.

متن کاملThe nematode Pristionchus pacificus (Nematoda: Diplogastridae) is associated with the oriental beetle Exomala orientalis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Japan.
Pristionchus pacificus has been developed as a nematode satellite organism in evolutionary developmental biology. Detailed studies of vulva development revealed multiple differences in genetic and molecular control in P. pacificus compared to the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. To place evolutionary developmental biology in a comprehensive evolutionary context, such studies have to be co...

A new species of diplogastrid nematode, Leptojacobus dorci n. gen., n. sp., was isolated from adults of the stag beetle Dorcus ritsemae (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) that were purchased from a pet shop in Japan. Leptojacobus n. gen. is circumscribed by a very thin, delicate body and by a small stoma with minute armature. A combination of other stomatal characters, namely the division of the cheilosto...
