This section of the Handbook of Zoology is intended as a
comprehensive and exhaustive account of the biology of the taxa
Gastrotricha, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Priapulida, Kinorhyncha,
Loricifera, Gnathostomulida, Micrognathozoa, Rotifera, Seisonida
and Acanthocephala, covering all relevant topics such as
morphology, ecology, phylogeny and diversity. The series is
intended to be a detailed and up-to-date account of these taxa. As
was the case with the first edition, the Handbook is intended to
serve as a reliable resource for decades. Many of the taxa of this
volume are comparatively unknown to many biologists, despite their
diversity and importance for example in meiofaunal communities
(Gastrotricha, Rotifera, Gnathostomulida), their fascinating recent
discoveries (Loricifera and Micrognathozoa), their importance as
parasites (many nematodes, Nematomorpha, Acanthocephala) and their
importance for evolutionary questions (e.g. Priapulida,
Gastrotricha). The groups covered range from those poor in species
(such as Micrognathozoa with 2 known species) to the species-rich
and diverse Nematoda and their ca. 20.000 described species. While
each taxon is covered by one chapter, nematodes are treated in
several chapters dedicated to their structural, taxonomic and
ecological diversity.
