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 资金将通过以下方式提高 Co-PI 论文的质量：1）通过资助关键类群分子序列数据的获取，帮助他生成第一个鱼血吸虫（Digenea：Sanguinicolidae）的综合系统发育学，从而 2）使他能够测试寄生虫-宿主共系统发育。这些序列数据将与Co-PI当前对尾蚴和成虫血腥菌的形态学和生态学研究相结合，以产生综合的系统发育证据。然后将系统发育与预先存在的鱼类系统发育进行比较，以测试寄生虫-宿主共系统发育。这些结果将包括基于第一分支的 Sanguinicolidae 系统发育，确定 Sanguinicolidae 可能的姐妹分类群，并最终有助于我们了解 Digenea 的进化。 更广泛的影响：NSF-DDIG 资金将帮助资助 K-8 的海洋寄生虫学研究经验EPSCoR 州密西西比州的高中生、本科生和公众。这些活动包括代表性不足的群体，并将加强已建立的伙伴关系和/或与联邦和州野生动物机构​​、私营企业、博物馆、数学和科学磁石学校的教师和学生、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。
