Research

Interests

Copepods are the dominant metazoan group in the marine plankton, are extremely abundant in marine and freshwater sediments and are parasites on virtually every phylum of animals from sponges to chordates. The main theme of my research is the systematics and comparative anatomy of free-living and parasitic copepods, and the application of phylogenetic reconstruction to examine their evolution and ecological radiation, using morphology and molecular markers. Copepods are one of the best models to study fundamental phenomena like the evolution of parasitism and the marine-freshwater transition, and to test fundamental hypotheses such as the claim of oligomerization being the predominant mode of character transformation in Crustacea, and the enemy release hypothesis in invasion ecology.

Despite its hyperabundance and vast diversity, the phylogenetic position of the Copepoda within the Crustacea is still unresolved. Copepoda has traditionally been placed in the Maxillopoda which is widely regarded as the most controversial class of the Crustacea. Molecular analyses in particular have thus far failed to provide strong support for a monophyletic Maxillopoda or identified it as a paraphyletic taxon. Other workers have argued that there is merit to recognition of the Maxillopoda as a natural assemblage, despite the fact that there seem to be exceptions to every synapomorphy proposed. I have developed an interest in examining the relationships of the lesser known and molecularly undersampled maxillopodan lineages such as the Mystacocarida, Pentastomida, Branchiura and Tantulocarida. It is expected that the new (morphological and molecular) insights gained from these studies will contribute to a better understanding of the relationships of the Copepoda.

Projects

My research programme consists of four interrelated projects:

(1) Phylogenetic Relationships of Maxillopoda

Aim. To analyze the phylogenetic relationships between the various groups of the Maxillopoda, one of the six classes currently recognized within the Crustacea, by employing morphological and molecular data across all lineages.

(2) Systematics and evolutionary biology of harpacticoid copepods

Aim. To carry out revisionary work on various families of benthic copepods which will be used as the basis for a synthetic account of the systematics and phylogeny of the Harpacticoida.

(3) Evolution of parasitism in Copepoda

Aims. To carry out morphological and molecular studies on symbiotic copepods in order to determine the cladogenetic events that gave rise to the main lineages and to identify the key innovations associated with them such as the origin of mesoparasitism and dwarf males; to place incertae sedis known thus far from juvenile stages; to generate a new ordinal phylogeny of the Copepoda.

(4) Copepods and the transition from marine to freshwater habitats: a model for studying oligomerization

Aims. To use molecular data to analyze relationships within various freshwater lineages showing distinct progressive reduction in body morphology; to use the molecular trees to test the importance of oligomerization in copepod evolution and the widely accepted irreversibility of character transformations in this group.
