Species delimitation of common reef corals in the genus Pocillopora using nucleotide sequence phylogenies, population genetics and symbiosis ecology
JH Pinzón, TC Lajeunesse - Molecular ecology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Stony corals in the genus Pocillopora are among the most common and widely distributed of
Indo‐Pacific corals and, as such, are often the subject of physiological and ecological …

Population Genetics of an Ecosystem-Defining Reef Coral Pocillopora damicornis in the Tropical Eastern Pacific
DJ Combosch, SV Vollmer - PLoS One, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Background Coral reefs in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) are amongst the most
peripheral and geographically isolated in the world. This isolation has shaped the biology of …

Genetic relatedness does not retain spatial pattern across multiple spatial scales: dispersal and colonization in the coral, Pocillopora damicornis
KD Gorospe, SA Karl - Molecular Ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Patterns of isolation by distance are uncommon in coral populations. Here, we depart from
historical trends of large‐scale, geographical genetic analyses by scaling down to a single …

Modeling larval connectivity of coral reef organisms in the Kenya-Tanzania region
CG Mayorga-Adame, HP Batchelder… - Frontiers in Marine …, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Most coral reef organisms have a bipartite life-cycle; they are site attached to reefs as adults
but have pelagic larval stages that allow them to disperse to other reefs. Connectivity among …

Same places, same stories? Genomics reveals similar structuring and demographic patterns for four Pocillopora coral species in the southwestern Indian Ocean
Aim Efficiently protecting species requires knowing their ecological, life‐history and
reproductive traits. This is particularly decisive for scleractinian corals, key components of …
