Research Topic :
Diversity, distribution and ecology of intertidal Heterobranchs (Gastropoda: Mollusca) from the Saurashtra coast, Gujarat, India
Aims & Objectives:
Aims: The proposed work aims to study the diversity, distribution, and ecological status of the subclass Heterobranchs from the rocky shore of the Saurashtra coast.
Objectives:
Brief work proposal:
The present study is aimed to study the diversity, distribution, and ecological status of the Heterobranch from the Saurashtra coastline, Gujarat. The Heterobranch mainly preferred rocky intertidal as a habitat so, different rocky intertidal areas of the Saurashtra coast will be selected as study areas. Microhabitat assessment will be carried out along with selected sampling sites every month. The collected Heterobranch species will be identified by traditional taxonomy and using DNA barcoding (COX-I mt DNA) as an identification tool. The various methods will be used for the collection of data on Spatio-temporal variations in diversity indices, dispersion patterns and spatial-temporal variation in ecological attributes. The data will be analysed in R programming with the help of the Vegan package and popsd package. The taxonomic and molecular database of Heterobranch will help in further evolutionary study of Molluscs. This database can be used for the restoration ecology of the marine intertidal ecosystem of the Indian coastline. An in-depth study of the Heterobranch at multiple spatial scales is strongly recommended for future environmental impact assessment and to understand the response of the ecologically important species to the environmental changes and how they adapt against it as an evolutionary aspectConference, Workshops attended:
