Abstract

Keeping the medical, ecological, and economical importance of nematode phylum in mind, it is remarkable to see that nematode systematics is far from established. It has a long history of constant revision, and there may be as many classifications as there are nematode taxonomists. Ferris and Ferris (1987) anticipated about the growing sense of excitement pervading systematics as new techniques make it possible a depth of understanding of phylogenetic relationships and affinities never before thought possible. They further stated that Darwin’s “genealogical taxonomy,” based on the concepts of descent with modification, is linked directly with two approaches to phylogenetic inference, viz., phenetics and cladistics. In both of these, patterns of descent take precedence over processes, and in classifications based on these procedures, “grades” and “gaps” beloved by the evolutionary systematics are ignored and categories are usually of lesser importance (Dupuis 1884). The phenetic approach deals with “natural classification” based on overall similarity and the belief that the more characters a classification is based on, the more reliable it will be.
