Rampant asexual reproduction and limited dispersal in a mangrove population of the coral Porites divaricata
Corals are critical to marine biodiversity. Reproduction and dispersal are key to their
resilience, but rarely quantified in nature. Exploiting a unique system—a fully censused …

Fine‐scale genetic structure and inferences on population biology in the threatened Mediterranean red coral, Corallium rubrum
Identifying microevolutionary processes acting in populations of marine species with larval
dispersal is a challenging but crucial task because of its conservation implications. In this …

Parentage analyses identify local dispersal events and sibling aggregations in a natural population of Millepora hydrocorals, a free‐spawning marine invertebrate
Dispersal is a critical process for the persistence and productivity of marine populations. For
many reef species, there is increasing evidence that local demography and self‐recruitment …

Role of evolutionary and ecological factors in the reproductive success and the spatial genetic structure of the temperate gorgonian Paramuricea clavata
Dispersal and mating features strongly influence the evolutionary dynamics and the spatial
genetic structure (SGS) of marine populations. For the first time in a marine invertebrate, we …
