Discovering Ingenia – Brazil's Microscopic Marine Nematode

In this episode of pplpod, we're diving into the microscopic world of marine biology to explore Ingenia, a fascinating genus of marine nematode worms. Native to the coastal waters of Brazil, this unique roundworm currently boasts only a single known species: Ingenia mirabilis. Listen in as we discuss the vital role these mostly free-living organisms play in their ecosystems. We'll break down their classification within the Tripyloididae family and explore their specific diet, which consists of diatoms and other marine algae. Whether you are a marine biology student, a taxonomy enthusiast, or just curious about the hidden life of microscopic marine animals, this episode will expand your knowledge of the ocean's invisible world. (Plus, we share a quick piece of trivia for paleontology fans about why the dinosaur formerly known as Ingenia yanshini had to change its name!). Tune in to learn more about the taxonomy, diet, and habitat of these incredible marine nematodes! Source credit: Research for this episode included Wikipedia articles accessed 2/27/2026.
