| Abstract | Barnacles are among the most biologically diverse and ecologically important marine animals. Because they exhibit a fascinating and unique range of reproductive systems that have evolved several times in the group over the past 500 million years, they are an ideal animal model for testing theories about the evolution of sex. This project will first produce a robust hypothesis of the evolutionary relationships for all the barnacles. This will provide a much-needed phylogenetic framework for studi |
