assistants, could produce over a billion great-granddaughters
in a month. But where does it live, feed and
reproduce in the wild? And how has its wild environment
shaped the biology now explored in high-throughput
investigations in labs worldwide? Marie-Anne Félix and
Fabien Duveau report in BMC Biology [4] new findings
from nematode populations in orchards near Paris that
provide some answers to these questions.
