According to the literature, some siphonophore species occur in both polar regions and their corresponding neighbouring waters, but are they really the same species or not? How similar/related are they?

This MSc project includes:

• Sampling opportunities in the Arctic​
• Learning techniques at the DNA lab (DNA barcoding) and the morphology lab (identification and taxonomy)​
• Phylogenetic and molecular species delimitation analysis
• Joining activities for outreach and science popularization​
• Presenting in academic events and potentially being part of ​a peer-reviewed publication
• Participation in European Project POLE2POLE (Horizon2020)​
