Sensitivity of Ribosomal RNA Character Sampling in the Phylogeny of Rhabditida
Journal of Nematology 47(4):337–355. 2015. Ó The Society of Nematologists 2015. Sensitivity of Ribosomal RNA Character Sampling in the Phylogeny of Rhabditida 1 2 2 OLEKSANDR HOLOVACHOV, LAUREN CAMP, AND STEVEN A. NADLER Abstract: Near-full-length 18S and 28S rRNA gene sequences were obtained for 33 nematode species. Datasets were constructed based on secondary structure and progressive multiple alignments, and clades were compared for phylogenies inferred by Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods. Clade comparisons were also made following removal of ambiguously aligned sites as determined using the program ProAlign. Different alignments of these data produced tree topologies that differed, sometimes markedly, when analyzed by the same inference method. With one exception, the same alignment produced an identical tree topology when analyzed by different methods. Removal of ambiguously aligned sites altered the tree topology and also reduced resolution. Nematode clades were sensitive to differences in multiple alignments, and more than doubling the amount of sequence data by addition of 28S rRNA did not fully mitigate this result. Although some individual clades showed substantially higher support when 28S data were combined with 18S data, the combined analysis yielded no statistically signiﬁcant increases in the number of clades receiving higher support when compared to the 18S data alone. Secondary structure alignment increased accuracy in positional homology assignment and, when used in combination with paired-site substitution models, these structural hypotheses of characters and improved models of character state change yielded high levels of phylogenetic resolution. Phylogenetic results included strong support for inclusion of Daubaylia potomaca within Cephalobidae, whereas the position of Fescia grossa within Tylenchina varied depending on the alignment, and the relationships among Rhabditidae, Diplogastridae, and Bunonematidae were not resolved.

The examined nematodes are predominantly parasites of fishes. Their analyses provided well-supported trees allowing the study of phylogenetic relationships among some spirurine nematodes. The present results support the placement of Cucullanidae at the base of the suborder Spirurina and, based on the position of the genus Philonema (subfamily Philoneminae) forming a sister group to Skrjabillanidae (thus Philoneminae should be elevated to Philonemidae), the paraphyly of the Philometridae. Comparison of a large number of sequences of representatives of the latter family supports the paraphyly of the genera Philometra, Philometroides and Dentiphilometra. The validity of the newly included genera Afrophilometra and Carangi- nema is not supported. These results indicate geographical isolation has not been the cause of speciation in this parasite group and no coevolution with fish hosts is apparent. On the contrary, the group of South-American species ofAlinema , Nilonema and Rumai is placed in an independent branch, thus markedly separated from other family members.

Taxonomy Assignment Approach Determines the Efficiency of Identification of Metabarcodes in Marine Nematodes
Taxonomy assignment approach determines the efficiency of identification of metabarcodes in marine nematodes Oleksandr Holovachov1, Quiterie Haenel2, Sarah J. Bourlat3 and Ulf Jondelius1 1Department of Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden 2Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland 3Department of Marine Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Abstract: Precision and reliability of barcode-based biodiversity assessment can be affected at several steps during acquisition and analysis of the data. Identification of barcodes is one of the crucial steps in the process and can be accomplished using several different approaches, namely, alignment-based, probabilistic, tree-based and phylogeny-based. Number of identified sequences in the reference databases affects the precision of identification. This paper compares the identification of marine nematode barcodes using alignment-based, tree-based and phylogeny-based approaches. Because the nematode reference dataset is limited in its taxonomic scope, barcodes can only be assigned to higher taxonomic categories, families. Phylogeny-based approach using Evolutionary Placement Algorithm provided the largest number of positively assigned metabarcodes and was least affected by erroneous sequences and limitations of reference data, comparing to alignment- based and tree-based approaches. Key words: biodiversity, identification, barcode, nematodes, meiobenthos. 1 1. Introduction Metabarcoding studies based on high throughput sequencing of amplicons from marine samples have reshaped our understanding of the biodiversity of marine microscopic eukaryotes, revealing a much higher diversity than previously known [1]. Early metabarcoding of the slightly larger sediment-dwelling meiofauna have mainly focused on scoring relative diversity of taxonomic groups [1-3]. The next step in metabarcoding: identification of species, is limited by the available reference database, which is sparse for most marine taxa, and by the matching algorithms.

A Taxonomic Hierarchy and Checklist of the Genera and Higher Taxa of Marine Nematodes
A Taxonomic Hierarchy and Checklist of the Genera and Higher Taxa of Marine Nematodes w. D. HOPE and D. G. MURPHY SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 137 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

Kelley Thomas Chair of Advisory Panel Dr Martin Sheader 2 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS SCHOOL OF OCEAN & EARTH SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy RESOLVING PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE ORDER ENOPLIDA (PHYLUM NEMATODA) by Holly Marie Bik The Order Enoplida (Phylum Nematoda) has been proposed as a divergent nematode lineage—Enoplid nematodes are thought to exhibit morphological and developmental characteristics present in the ‘ancestral nematode’. However, previous molecular phylogenies have failed to unequivocally confirm the position of this group. The Enoplida is primarily comprised of free-living marine species; if these taxa represent close relatives of the nematode ancestor, this relationship would presumably imply a marine origin for the phylum. Prior to this investigation, few publically available gene sequences existed for Enoplid nematodes, and published sequences represented only shallow water fauna from Northwest Europe. This study has aimed to improve resolution at the base of the nematode tree, using drastically increased taxon-sampling within the previously neglected Enoplid clade. Morphological identifications, nuclear gene sequences (18S and 28S rRNA), and mitochondrial gene sequences (Cox1) were obtained from marine specimens representing a variety of deep-sea and intertidal habitats.
