The project aims to produce a robust evolutionary hypothesis and classification for all barnacle species, providing a phylogenetic framework to study the evolution of barnacle reproductive systems, larval development, and life cycles. The research will train several undergraduate and one postdoctoral student in systematics, genomics, bioinformatics, and conservation assessments of selected barnacle species. No subawards are planned under this award, which has a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
