Revised: 03/31/2024
2024 - Citing instructions for Nemaplex added (See: Citing Instructions)
2024 - Corrected "cut and paste" errors in linkages between genera/species and families.
2023 - Initiating linkages to appropriate informatiion and topics on other Nematode-related websites
2023 - Continued addition of material (mainly taxonomy and morphology/anatomy) on freshwater and marine nematodes, and on nematodes that are parasites of invertebret and vertebrate animals (including humans)
2022 - Continued gradual expansion of Nemaplex beyond soil and plant nematodes to include all Families and many Genera and species. But I am realizing that if a project is going to take a lifetime of work, it would be better to start earlier in your lifetime than later! However, check out Index to Nematode Families and the Index to Genera of Nematodes under the Classification/Indexes section of the Nemaplex Main Menu
2021 - October- Nemaplex reconstructed and reconfigured after failure and replacement of two hard drives on the Nemaplex server.
2021 NINJA, the calculator of Nematode Ecophysiology Parameters moved
to a server at Wageningen University, with the url:
https://shiny.wur.nl/ninja
