Spatial and temporal patterns of genetic variation in the widespread antitropical deep-sea coral Paragorgia arborea.

Abstract excerpt

Numerous deep-sea species have apparent widespread and discontinuous distributions. Many of these are important foundation species, structuring hard-bottom benthic ecosystems. Theoretically, differences in the genetic composition of their populations vary geographically and with depth. Previous studies have examined the genetic diversity of some of these taxa in a regional context, suggesting that genetic...
