Graduate student Jeffrey Jensen proposes a study of the                    marine percifom family Embiotocidae, an ecologically important                  component of the North Pacific nearshore fauna.  The project will               determine the evolutionary relationships among species in the                   family, and will document patterns of morphological variation in                feeding structures.  These functional variations will then be                   interpreted in the framework of their ecological roles and                      evolutionary histories.                                                              The proposed study has broad implications for evolutionary                 biology and functional studies.  By combining functional,                       ecological, and evolutionary data, Mr. Jensen will gain insight                 into functional convergence between separate lineages, and the                  constraints placed on morphology by inheritance.  The ease with                 which functional structures have changed to suit their ecological               roles is an issue of interest across a wide spectrum of taxonomic               groups, and this project will represent a noteworthy case study.
