My
dissertation focuses on the systematics and evolution of far-red visual
systems of deep-sea dragonfishes (family Stomiidae). The goals of this
research are to (1) recover the phylogenetic relationships of all 27
currently recognized stomiid genera using morphological and molecular
data from mitochondrial and nuclear markers; (2) unravel the molecular
basis of spectral tuning in stomiid dragonfishes by analyzing rhodopsin
coding genes in these and related taxa; (3) resolve the homology of
far-red light-producing cephalic photophores; and (4) in the context of
the phylogenetic hypothesis developed in the course of this study,
analyze the evolutionary emergence of long-wave light production and
spectral tuning in the stomiid subfamily Malacosteinae; and (5) explore
the species diversity of understudied taxa within this diverse and
understudied family.
Other projects include: (1) a revision of the poorly known manefish family Caristiidae
in collaboration with Duane E. Stevenson (NMFS, Alaska Fisheries
Science Center), Ralf Britz (British Museum of Natural History), and
Karsten Hartel (MCZ, Harvard University); (2) a taxonomic revision of
the bathypelagic dragonfish genus Rhadinesthes
Regan & Trewavas; (3) with Dr. Ted Pietsch, development of Lophiiform branches for the Tree of Life project; and (4) descriptions of stomiiform photophore
innervation and trigeminal neuroanatomy, assisted by Benjamin Frable, a
UW undergraduate.
