EECG Epilogue: Characterizing and linking variation in admixture and secondary chemistry across a juniper hybrid zone and Sierra Nevada – Great Basin Desert ecotone

**The AGA grants EECG Research Awards each year to graduate students and post-doctoral researchers who are at a critical point in their research, where additional funds would allow them to conclude their research project and prepare it for publication. EECG awardees also get the opportunity to hone their science communication and write posts over their […]
