Ephemeral-habitat colonization and neotropical species richness of Caenorhabditis nematodes

Abstract Background The drivers of species co-existence in local communities are especially enigmatic for assemblages of morphologically cryptic species. Here we characterize the colonization dynamics and abundance of nine species of Caenorhabditis nematodes in neotropical French Guiana, the most sp...
