Sigma Xi Grants-in-Aid of Research funded the proposal entitled Genetic homogeneity across spatial, taxonomic and ecological boundaries and The Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) Grants-in-Aid of Research funded the proposal entitled Dispersal via rafting: implications for marine connectivity.
