Wave Formation By Infective Larvae of the Plant Parasitic Nematode Meloidogyne Javanica
Abstract
Measurements of the wave characteristics of M. javanica on different concentrations of agar suggest that the nematode increases its muscular effort to overcome increased resistance to locomotion while conserving its energy reserves for infectivity and maintaining an efficient means of orienting to exudates released by the host plant root.

For agar, the tangential drag coefficient C||,agar is 3.2 × 10−3 kg·s−1, as estimated by Niebur and Erdös (1991) from Wallace's measurement.
“For agar, Wallace estimated the tangential drag coefficients C||,agar by directly measuring the force required to pull glass fibers of similar dimension to C. elegans across the surface (Wallace, 1969). Based on this measurement, Niebur and Erdös (1991) estimated C||,agar = 3.2 × 10−3 kg·s−1.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
