9975062CunninghamThis award supports dissertation enhancement research by Todd Oakley on understanding the evolutionary history of compound eyes in a diverse group of primitive crustacea. The research merges phylogenetic analysis with sensory ecology, and addresses an interesting question in arthropod evolution, the "enigma of invertebrate sight". The research will be conducted in collaboration with experts J. Lowery and A. Parker at the Australian Museum.The intent of the proposed research is to test whether the compound eyes of ostracods evolved independently of other anthropod eyes, by using the history of eye structural genes, photosensitive opsims, and phylogenetic mapping. Two main directions of research will be accomplished in this project: molecular and morphological studies. Australia is home to some of the most notable expertise in ostracod morphologies, and collaboration with experts there will be a valuable enhancement to the dissertation research. It is also expected that the international experience will enhance the student's education and permit new international collaboration.

9975062坎宁安这个奖项支持论文增强研究由托德奥克利了解复眼的进化历史在一个不同的组原始甲壳类动物。 这项研究将系统发育分析与感官生态学相结合，并解决了节肢动物进化中一个有趣的问题，即“无脊椎动物视觉之谜”。 这项研究将与专家J·洛厄里和A·澳大利亚博物馆的帕克。这项拟议中的研究的目的是通过使用眼睛结构基因的历史、光敏opsims和系统发育图来测试介形虫的复眼是否独立于其他人类眼睛进化。 本计画将完成两个主要的研究方向：分子与形态学研究。 澳大利亚是介形虫形态学方面一些最著名的专业知识的发源地，与专家的合作将对论文研究产生宝贵的促进作用。 预计国际经验将提高学生的教育，并允许新的国际合作。
