Long range gene flow beyond predictions from oceanographic transport in a tropical marine foundation species

Abstract The transport of passively dispersed organisms across tropical margins remains poorly understood. Hypotheses of oceanographic transportation potential lack testing with large scale empirical data. To address this gap, we used the seagrass species, Halodule wrightii, which is unique in spann...
