Aquatic flowering plants are notoriously difficult to identify                  because their morphology varies greatly with differing water                    levels and other factors of the environment. Graduate student                   Thomas Philbrick, under the supervision of faculty advisor Dr.                  Gregory Anderson at the Univesity of Connecticut, is studying the                                                                                               effects of growth conditions on the morphology of 17 North                      American species of the aquatic angiosperm genus Callitriche. He                is supplementing this morphological study with biochemical                      analyses of variation in chloroplast DNA, in order to identify                  reliable markers of genetic divergence among species and                        construct a robust taxonomy for the group.  The results of his                  study will lead to improved classification of these plants and                  better understanding of the evolutionary history of divergence                  among the species.
