The modern synthesis of embryology and gene expression studies, as undertaken in this project with sea stars, is a major way forward to achieve advances in our understanding of animal evolution and generate new insights into the mystery that surrounds the origin of our own phylum, the Chordata. This project utilises life history diversity in species that are unique Australian fauna. Extreme life history diversity as seen in these sea stars is unparalleled on a global scale and provides an important resource to generate new discoveries on the processes underlying evolution in the sea and enhance our understanding of marine systems.

胚胎学和基因表达研究的现代综合，正如在这个项目中与海星进行的那样，是实现我们对动物进化的理解进步的一个主要途径，并对围绕我们自己的门，脊索动物的起源之谜产生新的见解。该项目利用澳大利亚独特动物群物种的生活史多样性。在这些海星中看到的极端生命史多样性在全球范围内是无与伦比的，并提供了一个重要的资源，以产生新的发现海洋进化的过程，并提高我们对海洋系统的理解。
