A molecular evolutionary framework for the phylum Nematoda
- M. Blaxter, Paul De Ley, +9 authors W. Thomas
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 5 March 1998
Nematodes are important: parasitic nematodes threaten the health of plants, animals and humans on a global scale,; interstitial nematodes pervade sediment and soil ecosystems in overwhelming numbers;… Expand
Against the oxidative damage theory of aging: superoxide dismutases protect against oxidative stress but have little or no effect on life span in Caenorhabditis elegans.

- Biology, Medicine
- Genes & development
- 1 December 2008
The superoxide radical (O(2)(-)) has long been considered a major cause of aging. O(2)(-) in cytosolic, extracellular, and mitochondrial pools is detoxified by dedicated superoxide dismutase (SOD)… Expand
Intermediary metabolism.

- 2009
Caenorhabditis elegans has orthologs for most of the key enzymes involved in eukaryotic intermediary metabolism, suggesting that the major metabolic pathways are probably present in this species. We… Expand
Molecular phylogeny of the Tylenchina and evolution of the female gonoduct (Nematoda: Rhabditida).
- W. Bert, F. Leliaert, A. Vierstraete, J. Vanfleteren, G. Borgonie
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 August 2008
Tylenchina are a morphologically and functionally diverse group of nematode species that range from free-living bacteriovores, over transitory grazing root-hair feeders to highly specialized… Expand
A molecular phylogeny of the Odonata (Insecta)
- H. Dumont, A. Vierstraete, J. Vanfleteren
- Biology
- 1 January 2010
Abstract. We estimated the phylogeny of the order Odonata, based on sequences of the nuclear ribosomal genes 5.8 S, 18S, and ITS1 and 2. An 18S‐only analysis resolved deep relationships well: the… Expand
An improved molecular phylogeny of the Nematoda with special emphasis on marine taxa.
- B. Meldal, N. Debenham, +11 authors P. Lambshead
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 March 2007
Phylogenetic reconstructions of relations within the phylum Nematoda are inherently difficult but have been advanced with the introduction of large-scale molecular-based techniques. However, the most… Expand
Phylogenetic relationships, divergence time estimation, and global biogeographic patterns of calopterygoid damselflies (odonata, zygoptera) inferred from ribosomal DNA sequences.
- H. Dumont, J. Vanfleteren, J. D. de Jonckheere, Peter H H Weekers
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 June 2005
The calopterygoid superfamily (Calopterygidae + Hetaerinidae) is composed of more than twenty genera in two families: the Calopterygidae (at least 17) and the Hetaerinidae (at least 4). Here, 62… Expand
Life extension via dietary restriction is independent of the Ins/IGF-1 signalling pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans
- K. Houthoofd, B. Braeckman, T. Johnson, J. Vanfleteren
- Biology, Medicine
- Experimental Gerontology
- 1 September 2003
Dietary restriction (DR) increases life span in a wide variety of animals. In Caenorhabditis elegans both reduced bacterial concentration (BDR) and culture on non-bacterial, semi-defined, axenic food… Expand
Phylogenetic relationships within the cyst-forming nematodes (Nematoda, Heteroderidae) based on analysis of sequences from the ITS regions of ribosomal DNA.
- S. Subbotin, A. Vierstraete, +4 authors J. Vanfleteren
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 October 2001
The ITS1, ITS2, and 5.8S gene sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA from 40 taxa of the family Heteroderidae (including the genera Afenestrata, Cactodera, Heterodera, Globodera, Punctodera, Meloidodera,… Expand
DamID in C. elegans reveals longevity-associated targets of DAF-16/FoxO
- E. Schuster, J. J. McElwee, +7 authors D. Gems
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular systems biology
- 10 August 2010
Insulin/IGF‐1 signaling controls metabolism, stress resistance and aging in Caenorhabditis elegans by regulating the activity of the DAF‐16/FoxO transcription factor (TF). However, the function of… Expand
