“…Through variation in such defense traits, plant species may accumulate different numbers of specialist root-feeding nematodes, which have limited host ranges and typically are endoparasites, and generalist root-feeding nematodes, which have wide host ranges and comprise both endoparasites and ectoparasites. Nematode inoculation studies show that high numbers of root-feeding nematodes can negatively affect plant biomass or change plant biomass allocation [26,27], but to what extent root-feeding nematodes affect plant productivity of natural plant communities in the field is not yet fully understood [28,29]. Negative impacts of root-feeding nematodes on plant performance can be partly mitigated by the accumulation of microbes that suppress root-feeding nematodes, an ability that differs between plant species [30,31].…”

“…The role of pests of important crop plants has given soil nematodes a notorious reputation, especially in agricultural and horticultural systems, and the vast majority of work on soil nematodes focuses on individual species or even genotypes within the plant parasites, also named plant or root-feeders or herbivores (Neher, 2010). There is increasing interest in the role of plant-feeding nematodes in controlling natural plant populations (Brinkman, Duyts, Karssen, van der Stoel, & van der Putten, 2015;Cortois et al, 2017). For instance, plant-feeding nematodes are studied in the context of climate warming-induced plant range expansion (Morriën, Duyts, & van der Putten, 2012;Viketoft & van der Putten, 2015;Wilschut, Geisen, ten Hooven, & van der Putten, 2016).…”

Integrating quantitative morphological and qualitative molecular methods to analyse soil nematode community responses to plant range expansion

Abstract1. Below-ground nematodes are important for soil functioning, as they are ubiquitous and operate at various trophic levels in the soil food web. However, morphological nematode community analysis is time consuming and requires ample training. qPCR-based nematode identification techniques are well available, but high-throughput sequencing (HTS) might be more suitable for non-targeted nematode community analyses.2. We compared effectiveness of qPCR-and HTS-based approaches with morphological nematode identification while examining how climate warming-induced plant range expansion may influence below-ground nematode assemblages. We extracted nematodes from soil of Centaurea stoebe and C. jacea populations in Slovenia, where both plant species are native, and Germany, where C. stoebe is a range expander and C. jacea is native. Half of each nematode sample was identified morphologically and the other half was analysed using targeted qPCR and a novel HTS approach.3. HTS produced the highest taxonomic resolution of the nematode community.Nematode taxa abundances correlated between the methods. Therefore, especially relative HTS and relative morphological data revealed nearly identical ecological patterns. All methods showed lower numbers of plant-feeding nematodes in rhizosphere soils of C. stoebe compared to C. jacea. However, a profound difference was observed between absolute and relative abundance data; both sampling origin and plant species affected relative abundances of bacterivorous nematodes, whereas there was no effect on absolute abundances.4. Taken together, as HTS correlates with relative analyses of soil nematode communities, while providing highest taxonomic resolution and sample throughput, we propose a combination of HTS with microscopic counting to supplement important quantitative data on soil nematode communities. This provides the most cost-effective, in-depth methodology to study soil nematode communityThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…The aim of the present study was to examine plant-nematode interactions of natives, range expanders related to these natives (hereafter, related range expanders), and range expanders without native species from the same genus in their new range (hereafter, unrelated range expanders), in soils from the new and original range. We focus on belowground plant-nematode interactions, as nematodes have important roles in the soil food web (Ferris, Bongers, & De Goede, 2001) and can affect spatiotemporal dynamics in natural vegetation (Brinkman, Duyts, Karssen, Van der Stoel, & Van der Putten, 2015;De Deyn et al, 2003). We established mesocosms with soil from either the original or the new range, in which we grew communities of each of the three groups of plant species.…”

Many plant species expand their range to higher latitudes in response to climate change. However, it is poorly understood how biotic interactions in the new range differ from interactions in the original range. Here, in a mesocosm experiment, we analyze nematode community responses in original and new range soils to plant communities with either (a) species native in both the original and new range, (b) range‐expanding species related to these natives (related range expanders), or (c) range expanders without native congeneric species in the new range (unrelated range expanders). We hypothesized that nematode community shifts between ranges are strongest for unrelated range expanders and minimal for plant species that are native in both ranges. As a part of these community shifts, we hypothesized that range expanders, but not natives, would accumulate fewer root‐feeding nematodes in their new range compared to their original range. Analyses of responses of nematodes from both original and new ranges and comparison between range expanders with and without close relatives have not been made before. Our study reveals that none of the plant communities experienced evident nematode community shifts between the original and new range. However, in soils from the new range, root‐feeding nematode communities of natives and related range expanders were more similar than in soils from the original range, whereas the nematode community of unrelated range expanders was distinct from the communities of natives and related range expanders in soils from both ranges. The abundances of root‐feeding nematodes were comparable between the original and new range for all plant communities. Unexpectedly, unrelated range expanders overall accumulated most root‐feeding nematodes, whereas related range expanders accumulated fewest. We conclude that nematode communities associated with native and range‐expanding plant species differ between the original and the new range, but that range‐expanding plant species do not accumulate fewer root‐feeding nematodes in their new than in their original range.
