The effect of conventional preservatives on spicule length of Heligmosomoides bakeri (Nematoda, Heligmosomidae) (2021)
Journal Article
Musah-Eroje, M., Burton, L., & Behnke, J. M. (2021). The effect of conventional preservatives on spicule length of Heligmosomoides bakeri (Nematoda, Heligmosomidae). Journal of Helminthology, 95, Article e69. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022149X21000596

Nematode spicules vary in shape and size even between closely related species and, therefore, constitute key characters in nematode taxonomy for distinguishing between species. Spicules are seldom measured on fresh specimens, but rather at some time...
