Biography
Dr Esprit Saucier is an Associate Professor at Brigham Young University–Hawaii (BYU-H). Her master's research included studying adaptations of intertidal sea anemones. She completed a PhD studying gene flow of isolated populations of deep-sea coral. Her research interests involve using phylogenetics and morphological characters to understand the evolutionary history of anthozoans, particularly deep-sea corals; exploring the invasions and radiations of shallow water anthozoans to deep oceans and visa versa, and examining the population and species level differences at both the genetic and morphological level.
