Pristionchus borbonicus is a species of free-living nematodes (roundworms) in the family Diplogastridae. The species was described from Réunion Island, and is notable for developing one of five different mouth forms depending on available food sources.[1][2] Pristionchus borbonicus and related species have symbiotic relationships with fig plants and their pollinator wasps.[1]
