NSF-DDIG funds will improve the resulting quality of the Co-PI's dissertation by 1) helping himgenerate the first comprehensive phylogeny for fish blood flukes (Digenea: Sanguinicolidae)through financing the acquisition of molecular sequence data for critical taxa, thereby 2)allowing him to test for parasite-host co-phylogeny. These sequence data will mesh with theCo-PI's current morphological and ecological studies of cercarial and adult sanguinicolids toyield a combined evidence phylogeny. The phylogeny will then be compared with pre-existingfish phylogenies to test for parasite-host co-phylogeny. These results will comprise the firstclade-based phylogeny for Sanguinicolidae, identify the likely sister taxon to Sanguinicolidae,and ultimately contribute to our understanding of the evolution of Digenea.Broader Impacts:NSF-DDIG funds will help finance marine parasitology research experiences for K-8, highschool, and undergraduate students and the public in Mississippi, an EPSCoR state. Theseactivities include underrepresented groups and will strengthen already-instituted partnershipsand/or establish new partnerships with federal and state wildlife agencies, private industry,museums, teachers and students from a magnet school for mathematics and science,educators at a nationally-recognized marine education center, and university students andresearchers.

NSF-DDIG基金将通过以下方式提高Co-PI论文的质量：1）通过资助关键分类群的分子序列数据的获取，帮助他产生第一个全面的鱼血吸虫（Digenea：Sanguinicolidae）的遗传学，从而2）允许他测试寄生虫-宿主共遗传学。这些序列数据将与Co-PI目前对丝虫和成虫血脑虫的形态学和生态学研究相结合，以产生综合证据系统发育。然后将寄生虫发生与先前存在的鱼类寄生虫发生进行比较，以测试寄生虫-宿主共寄生虫发生。这些结果将包括第一支为基础的寄生虫学为Sanguinicolidae，确定可能的姐妹类群Sanguinicolidae，并最终有助于我们了解的Digena.Broader影响的演变：NSF-DDIG资金将有助于资助海洋寄生虫学研究经验的K-8，高中，本科生和公众在密西西比，EPSCoR状态。这些活动包括代表性不足的群体，并将加强已经建立的伙伴关系和/或与联邦和州野生动物机构、私营企业、博物馆、数学和科学磁铁学校的教师和学生、国家认可的海洋教育中心的教育工作者以及大学生和研究人员建立新的伙伴关系。
