{"projectrec":{"ProID":1468,"StandardTitle":"Molecular diversity of marine invertebrates","OrigTitle":null,"Acronym":null,"AbstractEnglish":"Over the last decades molecular methods have become increasingly available to organismal biologists. Molecular genetics has greatly contributed to the understanding of evolutionary processes and relationships among taxa both at inter- and intraspecific levels.\r\n\r\nThe amount of genetic diversity and the degree of population genetic structuring (i.e. division into genetically distinct sub-populations) are essential characteristics of a species. Both diversity and structure reflect the evolutionary history and the possible futures, including ability to respond to environmental perturbations.\r\n\r\nThe aim of this research group is to study the genetic diversity of some dominant invertebrate species - populations from the North Sea, North Atlantic and adjacent estuaries. Patterns of genetic diversity within and between species may be used to identify cryptic species, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of a group, and to accurately estimate biodiversity. Population genetic structure may be useful to provide quantitative estimates of dispersal (gene flow) across a species' geographic range and to understand the extent to which dispersal is determined by ocean currents.\r\n\r\nAt the moment research is mainly focused on the genetic population structure of the hyperbenthic mysid, Neomysis integer in serveral European estuaries.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:20.809226","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":2000,"EndYear":2004,"BMonth":2,"EMonth":2,"BeginMonth":"February","EndMonth":"February","OrigTitleLangCode":null,"OrigTitleLangID":null,"OrigTitleLangNL":null,"OrigTitleLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangCode":null,"OtherAbstractLangID":null,"OtherAbstractLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangNL":null,"Progress":"Completed","ProgressNL":"Afgelopen","PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":1,"ND":"2004-04-20","UD":"2007-04-03","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":null,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":[{"DasID":23,"Acronym":null,"Citation":"Remerie, T.; Marine Biology Section - Ugent; (2006): Dispersal of invertebrate key species based on molecular methods.","StandardTitle":"Dispersal of invertebrate key species based on molecular methods.","DasType":"Data"}],"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"MARBIOL","ProPartID":5893,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Ghent University; Faculty of Sciences; Biology Department; Marine Biology Section","Line1":"Campus De Sterre, S8","Line2":"Krijgslaan 281","Line3":"9000 Gent","Line4":null,"InsID":13,"FullStandardName":"Universiteit Gent; Faculteit Wetenschappen; Vakgroep Biologie; Onderzoeksgroep Mariene Biologie","Role":"Co-ordinator","RoleID":7,"EncAddress":"Campus De Sterre, S8, Krijgslaan 281, 9000 Gent, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[{"Surname":"Remerie","Firstname":"Thomas","Initials":"Th.","LeaderFlag":0,"PersID":1261,"Role":null,"RoleID":null,"PastInstitute":1,"BeginDay":null,"BeginMonth":null,"BeginYear":null,"EndDay":null,"EndMonth":null,"EndYear":null}],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"UGent","ProPartID":5892,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Ghent University","Line1":"Rectoraat","Line2":"Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 25","Line3":"9000 Gent","Line4":null,"InsID":471,"FullStandardName":"Universiteit Gent","Role":"Sponsor","RoleID":3,"EncAddress":"Rectoraat, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 25, 9000 Gent, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null}],"refs":null,"urls":null,"thesterms":[{"ThesaurusTerm":"ANE, North Sea, Southern Bight","ThestID":182113,"ThesTypID":34,"ThesType":"ASFA Geoterms","OrigThesTerm":"ANE, North Sea, Southern Bight","DutchTerm":null,"Code":null},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Coastal waters","ThestID":1653,"ThesTypID":1,"ThesType":"ASFA Thesaurus List","OrigThesTerm":"Coastal waters","DutchTerm":"Kustwateren","Code":"c_25205"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Genetic diversity","ThestID":9656,"ThesTypID":1,"ThesType":"ASFA Thesaurus List","OrigThesTerm":"Genetic diversity","DutchTerm":"Genetische diversiteit","Code":null},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Marine biology","ThestID":4990,"ThesTypID":1,"ThesType":"ASFA Thesaurus List","OrigThesTerm":"Marine biology","DutchTerm":"Mariene biologie","Code":"c_12399"},{"ThesaurusTerm":"Marine invertebrates","ThestID":5007,"ThesTypID":1,"ThesType":"ASFA Thesaurus List","OrigThesTerm":"Marine invertebrates","DutchTerm":"Mariene invertebraten","Code":"c_4672a815"}],"taxterms":[{"TaxTerm":"Neomysis integer (Leach, 1814) [An opossum shrimp]","AphiaID":120136,"OrigTaxTerm":"Neomysis integer (Leach, 1814)","DutchTerm":"Brakwateraasgarnaal"}],"geoterms":[{"GeoTerm":"Southern Bight","GeoObjectID":2399,"OrigGeoTerm":"Southern Bight","DutchTerm":"Zuidelijke Bocht"}],"funderids":[{"FunderID":"BOF/GOA - 1205398","ThestID":181476,"FunderType":"Other contract id"}],"othtermsFRIS":null,"pictures":[],"spcols":[{"SpColID":269,"SpName":"ENCORA"},{"SpColID":165,"SpName":"ENCORA: BENCORE"},{"SpColID":38,"SpName":"Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning"},{"SpColID":27,"SpName":"ScheldeMonitor"}],"resmessage":"","complete":1}
