Phenotypic plasticity and morphological integration in a marine modular invertebrate.

BMC evolutionary biology - 24 Jul 2007

Sánchez Juan A, Aguilar Catalina, Dorado Daniel, Manrique Nelson

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Colonial invertebrates such as corals exhibit nested levels of modularity, imposing a challenge to the depiction of their morphological evolution. Comparisons among diverse Caribbean gorgonian corals suggest decoupling of evolution at the polyp vs. branch/internode levels. Thus, evolu...
