One of the reasons why we collect specimens, in particular biological specimens,

00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:19.420
is that we'll be able to do genetic analysis on them,

00:00:20.350 --> 00:00:25.310
in order for detailed morphological analysis that will help us distinguish

00:00:25.510 --> 00:00:31.230
and establish whether this might be a new species that hasn't been previously described,

00:00:31.250 --> 00:00:34.330
as well as put them in evolutionary context,

00:00:34.802 --> 00:00:38.400
as well as how they have evolved through interactions with the environment,

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.130
and changes in the environment.

00:00:42.709 --> 00:00:47.540
It gives us a much better perspective of the whole evolution of life in the ocean.
