| Gaia: | Both of us are relatively new to the field of nematodes as biological indicators. We have backgrounds in crop protection and particularly the use of
parasitic nematodes as biological control agents. In the late 1990s, we both
obtained tenure track positions in institutions where there was a strong
research emphasis on environmental diagnostics and bioremediation of contaminated land. Attendance at seminars given by students and visitors combined with conversations with colleagues made us both acutely aware of the
potential nematodes offer as biological indicators. This potential exists from
the sub-cellular to landscape scale.
Perusing the literature made us realize that much high quality work had
been done to exploit nematodes as biological indicators, but that information sources were diffuse with two problems (common to many fields of
biology) being apparent: marine scientists rarely communicate with terrestrial scientists, and molecular biologists (particularly the Caenorhabditis
eleganscommunity) have little contact with ecologists. If nematodes are to
realize their true potential, these groups must communicate and collaborate.
As a means of opening avenues of communication we organized the First
International Symposium on Nematodes as Environmental Bioindicators,
held in Edinburgh in June 2007 |
