| Abstract: | DNA barcoding has unraveled issues related to cryptic species complexes,
assigning life history stages of unidentified organisms and also towards better
understanding of evolutionary relationships between organismal groups. Given
the advantages of DNA barcoding, one can strongly argue that barcodes may prove
to be extremely useful for marine meiobenthic studies particularly for
taxonomic groups such as free-living marine nematodes and polychaetes from the
Indian subcontinent. An integrative taxonomic approach based on morphological
traits based taxonomy and DNA barcoding would be ideal for studying the
meiobenthic groups from Indian sedimentary environments. |
