Summary: | My research aimed to elucidate the evolutionary history of sea pens by utilising molecular and morphological data. The primary objective was to gain valuable insights into their phylogeny through the analysis of extensive molecular datasets. To achieve this, multiple sea pen species were collected, with a particular focus on those from the Ireland region (Northeast Atlantic). My research encompasses a sea pen collection of over 400 specimens, enabling me to explore various analyses related to morphology, phylogeny, and species boundaries. ... |
