Weak genetic structure indicates strong dispersal limits: a tale of two coral reef fish.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jun 2006

Purcell John F H, Cowen Robert K, Hughes Colin R, Williams Dean A

Abstract excerpt

The extent of dispersal by pelagic larvae in marine environments, including coral reefs, is central for understanding local population dynamics and designing sustainable marine reserves. We present here the first example of a clear stepping-stone genetic structure throughout the Caribbean basin for a common coral reef species, the French grunt (Haemulon flavolineatum). Analysis of microsatellite DNA markers...
