Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular systematic and phylogenetic assessment of 34 calanoid copepod species of the Calanidae and Clausocalanidae
TL;DR: This molecular systematic and phylogenetic study was part of the ZooGene project, an international partnership to create a DNA sequence database as a tool for uniform, molecularly based species identification of planktonic calanoid copepods and euphausiids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining dominant scatterers of sound in mixed zooplankton populations
Andone C. Lavery,Peter H. Wiebe,Timothy K. Stanton,Gareth L. Lawson,Mark C. Benfield,Nancy J. Copley +5 more
TL;DR: Copepods, fluid-like zooplankton that account for most of the abundance and biomass, dominated at select locations only at the highest frequencies; acoustically inferred abundance agreed well with net and video estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenology in Calanus finmarchicus; hypotheses about control mechanisms
Journal ArticleDOI
A “Rosetta Stone” for metazoan zooplankton: DNA barcode analysis of species diversity of the Sargasso Sea (Northwest Atlantic Ocean)
Ann Bucklin,Brian D. Ortman,Robert M. Jennings,Lisa M. Nigro,Christopher J. Sweetman,Nancy J. Copley,Tracey T. Sutton,Peter H. Wiebe +7 more
TL;DR: The growing database of “gold standard” DNA barcodes serves as a Rosetta Stone for marine zooplankton, providing the key for decoding species diversity by linking species names, morphology, and DNA sequence variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA barcodes for species identification of euphausiids (Euphausiacea, Crustacea)
Ann Bucklin,Peter H. Wiebe,Sara B. Smolenack,Nancy J. Copley,Jason G. Beaudet,Kaitlin Bonner,Jaime Färber-Lorda,James J. Pierson +7 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive DNA barcode database for euphausiids will help ensure accurate species identification, recognition of cryptic species and evaluation of taxonomically meaningful geographic variation.
