Seminaria

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming MIZ seminar, which will take place on-line on 24 April (Friday) at 12:00 pm (CEST).

Our speaker will be Dr. Katarzyna Rybarczyk-Mydlowska from the Museum and Institute of Zoology PAS.

The title of the presentation is: "Exploring soil nematode diversity: species characteristics and (meta)barcoding".

Abstract:

Soil is inhabited by many plant parasitic and free-living nematode species that constitute a significant component of the soil food web. Precise morphological and molecular characteristics of these animals are important for plant protection and ecological research. To date, only a small fraction of the described nematode species has been characterized at the molecular level. The characterization of nematode species and the description of new ones is an ongoing process. The importance of this process, as well as recently described and characterized soil nematode species, will be discussed. Additionally, the results of metabarcoding optimalization studies performed on mock soil nematode communities will also be presented.

We warmly invite everyone to join the seminar using the link below:
