Research summary

Marymegan Daly studies the biology, ecology, and evolutionary relationships of marine invertebrates, with a strong focus on sea anemones (Actiniaria) and related cnidarians, as well as some work on freshwater crayfish and symbiotic marine species. Much of this research involves describing new species, correcting the taxonomic identity of known species, and examining genetic relationships and symbiosis patterns across geographic regions such as the Tropical Western Atlantic, California, and South Africa. This work combines field-based ecological observation with taxonomic and molecular (DNA-based) methods to catalog and understand marine biodiversity.
