Sumitomo Foundation grant to Dr Wyatt et al.
The Sumitomo Foundation has awarded an Environmenal Research Grant (環境研究助成) to Dr Wyatt and colleagues for their pioneering work on the environmental drivers of the structure and function of ‘twilight reefs’ (deep-water mesophotic coral ecosystems). Title: A refuge for coral reef biodiversity: trophic function and | Click for More →
