First Report of Three Tylenchidae Taxa from Southern Alberta, Canada

Members of the family Tylenchidae are highly abundant in soil habitats, including agricultural settings, where they play key ecological roles. In the present study, we identified three Tylenchidae species, namely <i>Basiria bhabi</i>, <i>Coslenchus acceptus</i>, and <i>...
