Ann Bucklin

Professor Emeritus of Marine Sciences

---

My research focus is the molecular ecology and evolution of zooplankton.  I have used diverse molecular approaches to study the population genetics / genomics, phylogeography, biodiversity, and evolution of marine holozooplankton, especially copepods and euphausiids. See https://uconntalks.uconn.edu/2014/05/29/ann-bucklin/.

Reference databases for DNA sequences:  A long-term goal is completion of taxonomically-complete and geographically-extensive databases including DNA sequences for specimens of marine zooplankton identified by taxonomic experts. The Census of Marine Zooplankton (CMarZ; www.CMarZ.org) was an international collaboration during 2004-2010 with a primary goal of determining DNA barcode sequences, including mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI), for specimens of marine zooplankton identified by taxonomic experts. My efforts toward the goal of global reference databases for zooplankton for multiple gene regions has continued through my leadership of an international SCOR Working Group, MetaZooGene (WG157, http://www.metazoogene.org/).

Metabarcoding Zooplankton Biodiversity: We are analyzing zooplankton samples by metabarcoding, which entails High-Throughput Sequencing of selected marker genes (COI and hypervariable regions of 18S rRNA) for DNA extracted from zooplankton samples. The overarching goal of these efforts is to ensure that metabarcoding will be increasingly viewed as a reliable, accurate, rapid and cost-effective methodology for analysis of species diversity of pelagic ecosystems and applications for ecosystem assessment and detection of impacts of climate change.

Food Web Dynamics in the Deep Ocean: Another important focus is biodiversity and food web dynamics of the deep ocean. We are collaborating with scientists and engineers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on a project called the Ocean Twilight Zone (OTZ, see https://twilightzone.whoi.edu/). Research cruises have collected from mesopelagic depth zones (1,000 – 4,000 m) and yielded samples reflecting biodiversity across the pelagic assemblage. Ongoing analysis of these samples is providing new clues about many unknown and never-before-seen inhabitants of these dark regions, far below the surface. We are focusing on food web dynamics and are using DNA metabarcoding analysis of gut contents of mesopelagic fishes and salps.  We will test for prey selection and diet preferences by comparing the diversity of gut contents of different species with the surrounding waters.
