Title |
The systematics of Echinorhynchus Zoega in Müller, 1776 (Acanthocephala: Echinorhynchidae) elucidated by nuclear and mitochondrial sequence data from eight European taxa |
Funding |
Natural Environment Research Council CASE studentship |
Study Area Description |
Fresh and marine waters of northern Europe. |
Design Description |
In order to gain insight into the zoogeography of Echinorhynchus, samples were selected to include taxa from a range of aquatic environments, including: both lotic and lentic freshwaters, coastal marine waters and the deep-sea. |
The personnel involved in the project:
All acanthocephalans were washed in saline and then fixed in 90-100% alcohol immediately after collection, or alternatively frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80ºC.
Study Extent |
Fresh and marine waters of northern Europe. |
Method step description:
-
Individual taxa of the E. gadi and E. bothniensis complexes were identified using allozyme electophoresis.
