Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans on Earth. They have colonized all climatic areas and types of environments, from aquatic ecosystems to soil, plant and animal tissues. Nematodes have also developed numerous parasitic strategies, causing many human diseases and large financial losses for those involved in agriculture and livestock rearing. Moreover, after the discovery of the apoptotic phenomenon in the terrestrial nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, this phylum has progressively assumed a relevant role as a model organism in modern medicine and in many fields of biology, including ecological evolutionary developmental biology (Eco-Evo-Devo). This Special Issue celebrates the Nematoda phylum, and will cover all aspects of nematology, including the taxonomy, ecology, and biology of both free-living and parasitic nematode species. As biologists, we believe that only constructive, interdisciplinary research may allow real advances in modern biology.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diversity is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
