Workshop
2
Advances in genomic and molecular studies of zooplankton
Co-Convenors:
Erica Goetze (University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA)
Ryuji Machida (Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History,
USA)
Katja Peijnenburg (Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics,
University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Invited Speaker:
Carol Eunmi Lee (Center of Rapid Evolution (CORE),
University of Wisconsin, USA)
Molecular techniques have provided important insights
into a number of aspects of zooplankton ecology. For
example, genetic markers have been used to characterize the population
structure of zooplankton species,
to assess the phylogenetic relationships among extant taxa, and to test
the specificity of their trophic niche.
Phylogeographic studies have also added a historical perspective to
understanding contemporary species
distributions and demography. New zooplankton species are being discovered
via molecular studies, and research
in DNA Barcoding and community meta-genetics promises to greatly accelerate
efforts to assess zooplankton
diversity in a range of ocean environments. These diverse ongoing research
lines rely on both conventional and
emerging molecular techniques, and address long-standing questions in
biological oceanography. The purpose of
this workshop is to assess the current state-of-the-field of molecular
and genomic studies of marine zooplankton,
and to discuss key research areas that could be significantly advanced
through creative application of existing
and emerging molecular techniques. For example, we are interested in
how molecular approaches could inform
interdisciplinary studies of (1) the effect of changing climate on zooplankton
physiology, distribution, or feeding
ecology, (2) the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function, and (3)
the role of mesozooplankton in structuring
pelagic food webs through trophic ecology, among others. We envision
a workshop with a number of short
presentations from the variety of active research areas in zooplankton
molecular ecology, followed by discussion
focused on specific research questions.
