      Nematodes are the most widespread multicellular animals in nature and analysis of nematodes in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments, as well as their role and function in ecosystems, can be used for environmental monitoring. Compared to other organisms, they offer the greatest potential as bioindicators and can be used to study gene expression in relation to environmental challenges, to monitor changing impacts on the environment and in laboratory ecotoxicity tests. This volume will address classical and molecular approaches to nematode community analysis, the contemporary field of nematodes as biosensors, as well as geonomic and post geonomic aspects of nematode bioindicators. In addition, case studies will stress the importance of these bioindicators and demonstrate the commercial potential of these technologies. Providing a timely review of research into nematodes and environmental monitoring, this book will be essential reading for researchers in nematology and environmental science.

      Thomais Kakouli-Duarte has research experience in the areas of agri-environmental science, specifically, the application of nematodes and their assemblages as indicators or environmental change, biological control of insect pests using entomopathogenic nematodes, the development of DNA-based diagnostics of quarantine insect pests and bumblebee molecular ecology and conservation. She holds a 1st class BSc (Hons) from the Technological Educational Institute of Western Macedonia, Greece, and an MSc in the Technology of Crop Protection and PhD on the biological control of Otiorhunchs sulcatus using entomopathogenic nematodes from the University of Reading, UK. She is currently a biosciences and ecology Lecturer in the Department of Applied Science, and Director of enviroCORE, SETU's centre of research and enterprise in bio-environmental technologies. Thomais has communicated over a hundred peer reviewed publications, proceedings in national and international conferences and abstracts.
