MANOA, Hawaii, April 19 (TNSjou) -- The University of Hawaii Manoa campus issued the following news release:
The high seas have been colonized by a surprising number of coastal marine invertebrate species, which can now survive and reproduce in the open ocean, contributing strongly to the floating community composition. This finding was published Monday in Nature Ecology and Evolution by a team of researchers led by the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa and the Smithsonian Environm . . .
