Life Cycle Evolution and Systematics of Campanulariid Hydrozoans

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to study campanulariid life cycle evolution and systematics. The Campanulariidae is a hydrozoan family with many life cycle variations, and provide an excellent model system to study life cycle evolution. Additionally, the unique campanulariid Obelia medusae may have been re-invented from ancestors without medusae.
