Nematode-Trapping Fungi [electronic resource] edited by Ke-Qin Zhang, Kevin D. Hyde.

These chapters provide up-to-date information on nematophagous fungi, particularly those of the Orbiliaceae in Ascomycota, whose asexual states produce nematode-trapping devices. The authors consider fungal-nematode interactions, fossil fungi, the biodiversity, ecology and geographical distribution...
