		Feeding Habit	cp value	Functional Guild Examples
Format: fx-s where f=feeding habit, x=cp value, -s = mode of feeding suffix		h = plant feeding   (suffix "-a" = swollen, sedentary females;              "-b" = migratory endoparasites              "-c" = semiendoparasites              "-d" = ectoparasites              "-e" = epidermis/root-hair feeders)	1 = enrichment opportunists	h3

		b = bacterial feeding	3 = early successional opportunists	b1

		p = predation (including specialist predators of nematodes; "-i" = ingesters; "-p" = piercers)	5 = long-lived intolerant species
		e = eucaryote feeding
		d = dispersal stages or animal parasites
		o = omnivory (including general predators of nematodes "-i" = ingesters; "-p" = piercers)
		animal parasites (designated ap) and marine nematodes: (designated m) only a small amount of data has been entered into Nemaplex; some animal parasites are marine nematodes, some marine nematodes are animal parasites! Further development on feeding categories is needed.
