Combined molecular and morphological evidence for phylogeny of pennatulacean and calcaxonian octocorals
Advised by Gary Williams, my past research focused on the phylogeny of calcaxonian gorgonians and sea pens from both molecular and morphological perspectives, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and polarized light microscopy as well as octocoral-specific mitochondrial and nuclear markers to gain insights of the evolutionary relationship between the two phylogenetic groupings within the subclass Octocorallia.
