Provenance of mid-Tertiary sandstone and conglomerates from the California Continental Borderland; implications for paleogeographic reconstructions

The specific aims of this project are to first compare demographies of Acanthurus bahianus, A. coeruleus and A. chirurgus (Caribbean) with A. nigrofuscus, A. lineatus and A. olivaceus (Indo-Pacific) using size at age estimates and mean life span estimates in populations from equal habitats. The following questions will be addressed:Are intra-specific growth comparisons similar?
