Abstract:: "N. leporinus is found o all the U.S. Virgin Islands. No studies have assessed whether this species is capable of interisland mobility. This study assesses the level of population subdivision in individuals between these islands, which bring new insight into social structure of mobile animals between islands. This study investigates the reproductive ecology of an understudied, highly vagile harem species separated by a geographical barrier."
