INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: NEW METHODS IN COPEPOD TAXONOMY
May 4 - 8, 1998
St.-Petersburg, Russia
Topics: The central goal is to bring together researchers
dealing specifically with morphology as it relates to
taxonomy in various groups of Copepods, in order to
better delineate species. New and rare used methods are
of particular interest: DNA - analysis, chromosome
analysis (chromosome diminution especially), enzyme
analysis, hybridization of closely related species,
LARVAL sign analysis., etc. Other topics include analysis
of variability and taxonomic weight of signs used in
describing copepods now to validate the many new species
that have been described in the last decades using
morphological details only.
In the context of this meeting two workshops are planned:
1. chromosome diminution; 2. hybridization techniques
with using of the Fischer's Cyclopoid species.
Conference is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Ulrich
Einsle.
