Atypically low rate of cytochrome b evolution in the scleractinian coral genus Acropora.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 1999

van Oppen M J, Willis B L, Miller D J

Abstract excerpt

Unexpectedly low levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b sequence divergence are found between species of the scleractinian coral genus Acropora. Comparison of 964 positions of the cytochrome b gene of two out of the three Caribbean Acropora species with seven of their Pacific congeners shows only 0.3-0.8% sequence difference. Species in these biogeographic regions have been evolving independently for at...
