The cGMP signaling pathway affects feeding behavior in the necromenic nematode Pristionchus pacificus.

The genetic tractability and the species-specific association with beetles make the nematode Pristionchus pacificus an exciting emerging model organism for comparative studies in development and behavior. P. pacificus differs from Caenorhabditis elegans (a bacterial feeder) by its buccal teeth and t...
