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 of
nematode-trapping fungi, and their potential use in biocontrol of
nematodes, all in detail. Nematode-trapping fungi with adhesive or
mechanical hyphal traps are the main focus of this book which
begins with an overview of the data on nematode-trapping fungi,
including their taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution. Subsequent
chapters expand upon the methods and techniques used to study these
fascinating fungi. Keys for genera of Arthrobotrys, Drechslerella
and Dactylellina, which include all reported species of predatory
orbiliaceous fungi are presented and numerous species from these
genera are morphologically described and illustrated. The ecology
of nematode-trapping fungi is expertly presented: their occurrence
and habitats, their geographical and seasonal distribution and the
effects of soil conditions and nematode density on their
distribution all feature amongst the relevant themes. Further
chapters examine the use of nematode-trapping fungi in biological
control and the authors consider nematicidal activities in detail,
exploring the many compounds from fungi that feature in nematicidal
activities and of course useful paths for further study on this
topic. This is a highly informative and carefully presented book,
providing scientific insight for scholars with an interest in fungi
and in biological control of nematodes.
