Population structure and dispersal of the coral-excavating sponge Cliona delitrix.

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2015

Chaves-Fonnegra Andia, Feldheim Kevin A, Secord Jesse, Lopez Jose V

Abstract excerpt

Some excavating sponges of the genus Cliona compete with live reef corals, often killing and bioeroding entire colonies. Important aspects affecting distribution of these species, such as dispersal capability and population structure, remain largely unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine levels of genetic connectivity and dispersal of Cliona delitrix across the Greater Caribbean (Caribbean Sea,...
