9316363 Anderson PI will examine how tectonics, paleoceanography, paleoclimate and paleoenvironment affected evolution of an important group of shallow-marine bivalves, the Corbulidae. Study will include: 1) sampling units in Florida and the Atlantic coastal plain to supplement existing collections; 2) morphometric analyses; and 3) cladistic and stratophenic analyses to establish evolutionary relationships among species. This work will contribute to the large-scale Panama Paleontology Project, the goal of which is to document the closing through time of the Isthmus of Panama and the response of organisms to that process.

9316363 Anderson PI 将研究地质构造、古海洋学、古气候和古环境如何影响浅海双壳类重要群体 Corbulidae 的进化。 研究将包括：1）在佛罗里达州和大西洋沿岸平原进行采样，以补充现有的收集； 2）形态测量分析； 3）分支和平流分析，以建立物种之间的进化关系。 这项工作将为大规模的巴拿马古生物学项目做出贡献，该项目的目标是记录巴拿马地峡的关闭时间以及生物体对该过程的反应。
