What is the most abundant animal in Great Smoky Mountains National Park? A good bet is that it’s a nematode. Nematodes have been called the most diverse and abundant organisms on earth. E.O Wilson says “It’s a nematode world.” Estimates suggest there may be more than one million species undiscovered and undescribed. Yet few people ever have the opportunity to directly observe them.
