- Abstract:
- Marine nematodes are a ubiquitous, abundant, hyper-diverse group of ecological importance and, theoretically, should be important for scientific research and biological monitoring. Unfortunately, they are difficult to work with because they are microscopic, have uncertain species definition characterised by phenetic morphological characters, and are largely undescribed outside of north-west European coastal waters. Their identification into named or unnamed morphological ?species? requires considerable time, money, and taxonomic expertise. This project will test cost-effective molecular characterisation and identification of marine nematodes in British estuaries where species are relatively well known.
