Abstract:Considerable differences were observed as regards morphometric features of individuals in populations of nematodes of the species Panagrolaimus rigidus (Schneider 1866) Thorne 1937 differing as to their origin (isolated from soil under various cultures). The breeding conditions (agar+ yolk, or soil with cereal seedlings) and duration of the laboratory culture also influenced the size of nematodes. Temperature affected the size of P. rigidus, whereas moisture had no effect.
