AMRI Seminar: Discovery of new worm species by Dr Nicolas Lavesque 2022 Australian Museum 2022-08-15 | A French-Australian success story: Discovery of many new worm speciesby Dr Nicolas Lavesque, The French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) & Bordeaux University, Arcachon Marine Station, France.Every year since 2010, the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) organises a one-week taxonomic course and invites an international taxonomic expert to provide lectures and practicals to benthic biologists working in the different French marine laboratories. In 2016, Nicolas Lavesque took the initiative to invite Dr Pat Hutchings, AM Senior Fellow and expert on polychaetes, to give a course on the family terebellids (AKA Spaghetti worms.) After a long discussion over (several!) glasses of French wine, Nicolas decided to do a taxonomic PhD aimed at revising the French species of terebellids, and offered Pat to be his supervisor – and she accepted this adventure!Since 2017, Nicolas has obtained three grants to come down under, and the duo has published one thesis, 14 scientific papers and described 33 new species of worms. Most of these news species have been described from French coastal waters, which were considered to be a well-known area, studied for several centuries by early taxonomists and benthic ecologists. Use of new tools, like SEM and molecular, have revealed the existence of many cryptic or pseudo-cryptic species.In parallel of Spaghetti worms, they are also passionate about the species belonging to the genus Marphysa, used worldwide as bait. Behind the cosmopolitan species M. sanguinea (Montagu, 1813), they have discovered many new species from France, India and more recently from Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Australia. The story is far from over! And long may the French Australian co-operation continue.Recorded 3 August 2022
