title: Biogeography of free-living soil nematodes from the perspective of plate tectonics.
abstract: In this first biogeographical synthesis based on the morphology and known distribution of a group of free-living soil nematodes, data indicate a pre-Jurassic origin followed by West Gondwanaland radiation for some genera and Laurasian radiation for others.
