Free living marine nematodes: taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny

Abstract

The phylum nematoda is highly diverse, inhabiting virtually all kinds of environments and therefore considered one of the most successful phyla on Earth. However, the lack of taxonomic studies, mainly on free living marine nematodes, hampers the progress of several other subjects which depend on taxonomy, such as ecology, biogeography and evolution. It is therefore with the aim of broadening and spreading the taxonomic knowledge that this proposal intends to start a research line on free living marine nematodes at the Marine Biology Center of the São Paulo University (CEBIMar-USP). Besides increasing the knowledge of the São Paulo State's biodiversity, the present proposal intends to combine morphological and molecular techniques to answer questions on the systematic and phylogeny of the group. This proposal plans to establish a reference collection of permanent slides and a virtual data bank where each indentified and sequenced species will be represented by pictures or illustrations and georeferenced. In relation to the scientific production, the results will be published regularly during the four years. In total, two taxonomic reviews of the most common and abundant marine orders (Monhysterida and Aerolaimida), two identification keys, one for all the genus found along the Sao Paulo State and other of international scope including genera that are not in the traditional keys, and at least five peer-reviewed scientific publications are predicted. The present proposal also foresees training students and technicians in studies of taxonomy, systematic and phylogeny of free living marine nematodes. (AU)
