T. Viscardi et Mw. Brzeski, DITYL - COMPUTERIZED KEY FOR SPECIES IDENTIFICATION OF DITYLENCHUS (NEMATODA, ANGUINIDAE), Fundamental and applied nematology, 16(5), 1993, pp. 389-392
A computer program to assist the identification of species of Ditylenc
hus Filipjev, 1936 is described. The program has user-friendly interfa
ce, is simple to use and can easily be extended. The general coefficie
nt of similarity, defined by Gower, was taken as a measure of similari
ty. It allows for simultaneous comparison of all features used for ide
ntification. The computer output lists five species most similar to th
e unknown specimens being identified.
