This proposal represents an ROW career advancement award to gain training in techniques in molecular biology to apply to ongoing studies on the taxonomy and evolutionary history of calcareous algae of coral reefs, in particular representatives of the genus, Halimeda. The classical taxonomy of Halimeda and other calcareous members of the Bryopsidalean algae is unusually difficult. The Bryopsidalean algae do not have clear sexual characteristics that can be readily used to separate species and the full life cycle for many species has not been worked out. This award will permit the acquisition of the methodologies currently being applied to understanding taxonomy and diversity in other organisms, to test key hypotheses concerning the relationships within this interesting and important group of marine algae.

这项提议代表了一项连续职业发展奖，以获得分子生物学技术方面的培训，以适用于正在进行的珊瑚礁钙质藻类分类和进化史研究，特别是哈利米达属的代表。Halimeda和Bryopsidalean藻类的其他钙质成员的经典分类是异常困难的。Bryopsidalean藻类没有明确的性别特征，可以很容易地用来区分物种，许多物种的完整生命周期还没有弄清楚。该奖项将允许获得目前用于了解其他生物的分类学和多样性的方法，以检验关于这一有趣和重要的海藻群体之间关系的关键假设。
