A<\/span>s summer slowly approached its end, Dijon, the beautiful French city surrounded by Burgundy wineries, was suddenly inundated by people dedicated to the study of amphipods \u2013 a group of fascinating crustaceans inhabiting all aquatic habitats.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 120 people from 27 countries came together at the end of August to share the latest developments in amphipod research relating to everything from taxonomy to ecology, from physiology to behaviour, from phylogeography to cryptic speciation. <\/span><\/p>\n

What started as a meeting dedicated to one taxon (the groundwater genus Niphargus<\/em>) has become the International Colloquium on Amphipoda (ICA), a meeting that envelops all amphipods from all habitats. It quickly grew into a friendly, informal environment where researchers and students exchange ideas and start new collaborations. A big family that reunites every two to three years in different countries in the Euro-Mediterranean region. <\/span><\/p>\n

This year, ICA18 was a particularly special occasion as the group celebrated its 50th<\/sup> anniversary. As plenary speaker Jos\u00e9 Manuel Guerra-Garc\u00eda from the University of Seville put it, \u201c1969 had two major events: the moon landing and ICA1 in Verona, Italy.\u201d His presentation, titled \u2018Fifty years of amphipod meetings. Taxonomical, ecological, and behavioural patterns of the amphipodologist community<\/em>\u2019, detailed the history of this important community of researchers and its rapid growth and diversification during the last decades. <\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ text_font=”||||||||” custom_padding=”||0px|||”]

ICA18, organized by Thierry Rigaud and R<\/span>\u00e9mi Wattier from the University of Burgundy, brought new energy, new graduate students, and early-career researchers looking to understand the incredible diversity of amphipods as well as new ideas for future collaborative projects. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meeting highlights<\/h3>\n

Nicolas Puillandre from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris gave a plenary talk titled, \u2018DNA Barcoding, DNA taxonomy, and integrative taxonomy: separating the wheat from the chaff\u2019. He highlighted the history of DNA barcoding and the growth of its applications, from its restricted sense of specimen identification to the wider applications as part of DNA taxonomy and integrative taxonomy. This was the first ICA meeting to have a plenary talk dedicated to DNA barcoding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another first for ICA was the hands-on mini-workshop on BOLD, <\/span>the online platform that provides an integrated environment for the assembly and use of DNA barcode data, organized by Filipe Costa, iBOL Science Committee member for Portugal, and Pedro Vieira, both from the University of Minho in Portugal; Micha<\/span>\u0142 Grabowski, iBOL Science Committee member for Poland, and Tomasz Mamos, both from the University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a in Poland; and myself from the University of Guelph in Canada. After three days of talks and poster presentations, the workshop participants gathered in the beautiful old library room of the Faculty of Sciences and spent an entire Friday afternoon learning about BOLD and how to include it in their workflow so that their data and metadata are stored on a single platform. <\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ibol.org\/barcodebulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Radulovici-Figure1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.0.6″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#646564″ text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”||0px|||”]

One of the hottest topics at ICA18 was cryptic speciation, as amphipods are a group known for high intra-specific diversity. The subject triggered an ad-hoc<\/em> meeting to establish a roadmap for approaches to identifying and describing cryptic species. Due to the complexity of the topic, moderator Micha<\/span>\u0142 Grabowski proposed that a core group with representatives from natural history museums, academia, BOLD, and the World Register of Marine Species (WORMS<\/a>) should continue the discussion online and produce guidelines for the amphipod community to address the topic of cryptic species in the near future.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ibol.org\/barcodebulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Radulovici-Figure2.jpg” _builder_version=”4.0.6″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#646564″ text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”||0px|||”]Ad hoc meeting on cryptic species in amphipods.\n\nPHOTO CREDIT:\u00a0Adriana Radulovici<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″]

The final session was dedicated to DNA barcoding and the progress made in freshwater, marine and groundwater amphipods. I had the pleasure of closing ICA18 with an overview of current practices in DNA barcoding amphipods inferred from compiling and analyzing all public amphipod barcode data available in BOLD.<\/span><\/p>\n

ICA18 has set the course for a very interesting two years in amphipod research, one that will lead to ICA19 in Tunisia in 2021. I am happy to see more and more people producing DNA barcodes for amphipods which inherently leads to the discovery of new cryptic species (especially in groundwater). Compared to 2010 when I attended ICA14 in Spain, my first amphipod meeting, there is definitely more interest in DNA barcoding, with some research labs widely adopting the tool for their amphipod projects. My biggest hope coming out of ICA18 (and the BOLD mini-workshop) is that amphipodologists will come together to follow best practices when generating DNA barcoding data and metadata so that the entire community will have access to a reliable dataset of amphipod records. <\/span><\/p>\n

As always, ICA was inspiring and energizing. And if ICA needed a slogan, the phrase coined by the Grabowski lab in 2013 could very well reflect the belief of people gathered in Dijon \u2013 Amphipoda is the way of life<\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_padding=”||0px|||”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″ background_color=”#f2f2f2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” custom_padding=”|50px|25px|50px|false|false”]
