focuses on marine nemertine biodiversity, a poorly studied taxa in Argentina. The main goal of my research is to characterize the nemertean fauna using morphological and molecular characters, to determine the nemertean biodiversity of Argentina and the phylogenetic relationships between species. Another major focus of my research is to study the ecological role of Nemerteans in the benthic trophic assemblies, with special attention to those species that live in symbiotic relationships with other invertebrates. Research goals To characterize the nemertean biodiversity of Argentina using morphological and molecular characters. To study the phylogenetic relationships of species and populations to know their dispersal patterns and biogeographic distribution. To study the role of nemerteans in the benthic community.
