Abstract
Over the last few years vulva development in nematodes has been used as a model system to study the evolution of developmental processes by carrying out cell lineage and cell ablation studies in various nematodes. Furthermore, a genetic and molecular analysis of vulva development has been initiated in Pristionchus pacificus. Evolutionary interpretation of these comparative developmental studies requires a phylogenetic understanding of nematodes. Recently, a molecular phylogeny for the phylum Nematoda has been published. Here, we place the comparative data of vulva development onto this phylogeny of nematodes to infer the direction of evolutionary change.
