This project aims to investigate how complex traits are lost during evolution, and once lost if they can be regained. The project will use the diverse visual systems of snakes and lizards to shed light on the process of gene loss in degenerative lineages, and discover the mechanisms that compensate for gene losses in taxa with secondarily evolved visual capabilities- providing a case of evolutionary re-innovation in complex traits.

该项目旨在研究复杂的特征是如何在进化过程中丢失的，以及一旦丢失，它们是否可以重新获得。该项目将利用蛇和蜥蜴的不同视觉系统来阐明退化谱系中基因丢失的过程，并发现补偿具有次级进化视觉能力的分类群中基因丢失的机制-提供进化再创新的案例。
