Abstract
The movements of the nematode encompass those that result in: (i) travel or rotation of the nematode through space (locomotion); (ii) events of physiological or developmental importance (hatching, feeding, copulation, egg laying, defecation, root penetration); (iii) postures or integrated movements of groups of nematodes (coiling, clumping and swarming) that enhance survival and phoresis; and (iv) quiescence. Information is presented on sensory transduction and response to stimuli, and locomotion in soil and plant tissue. Where possible comparisons and inferences are made with information in Caenorhabditis elegans.
