Title: Barcoding Arctic Benthos: Applications for Reproductive Ecology and Phylogenetics
 |
Principal Investigator Sarah Mincks, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska Fairbanks, USA |
Project goals
Gene sequences (particularly for the mitochondrial COI gene) will be generated for benthic invertebrates collected in summer 2007 in the Northern Bering and Chukchi Seas for the purposes of barcoding and phylogenetic analysis. In addition, meroplanktonic larvae collected concurrently will be sequenced in an effort to identify larvae to species and investigate larval dispersal patterns
Results
Ongoing: None to date
