Peak calls of A. cervicornis, A. palmata and A. prolifera in the U.S. Virgin Islands used to determine genotypic richness
"Genotypic richness, the total number of unique genotypes divided by the total number of samples, can be a useful metric for identifying population distributions particularly with an uneven sample size. Here, we use microsatellites developed by Baums et a...
What did scientists see during the eastern Bering Sea canyon survey?
In the eastern Bering Sea several hundred miles from shore, the seafloor descends into the abyss. Most of the continental slope makes a gradual descent, but in several places, canyons interrupt the regular topography. The seafloor of the slope is primaril...
