SoilBON Nematodes

The Wall Lab is working diligently to identify nematodes within samples from around the world that were sent for processing to the lab of Dr. Carlos Guerra, Co-Chair of the Soil Biodiversity Observation Network (SoilBON) at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv). Currently 200 samples have been identified to the feeding group and we would like to take a moment to share some pictures of the specimens we have found so far. We hope you enjoy following along! Many more to come!
