D. dolichura showed a higher growth and development rate than A. nanus. D. dolichura had a shorter pre-reproductive period, a shorter reproductive period but more intensive pattern of reproduction, a shorter total life span and a considerably greater r than A. nanus.The differences in life-history traits of the two nematode species were discussed with reference to their adaptive significance for habitat properties. While D. dolichura represents short-lived habitats with temporarily high food supply, A. nanus can be found in habitats of various food abundance.}, type={Text}, title={A comparative study of the life strategies of two bacterial-feeding nematodes under laboratory conditions. 1, Influence of culture conditions on selected life-history parameters of Acrobeloides nanus (de Man 1880) Anderson 1968 and Dolichorhabditis dolichura (Schneider 1866) Andrássy 1983}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/miiz/Content/115780/PDF/WA058_91391_P2840-T49_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-1.pdf}, volume={49}, number={1}, journal={Polish Journal of Ecology}, publisher={Polish Academy of Sciences.
