Population genetic structure of the great star coral, Montastraea cavernosa, across the Cuban archipelago with comparisons between microsatellite and SNP markers.

Abstract excerpt

Coral reef habitats surrounding Cuba include relatively healthy, well-developed shallow and mesophotic (30-150 m) scleractinian communities at the cross-currents of the Tropical Western Atlantic (TWA). However, Cuba's coral communities are not immune to the declines observed throughout the TWA, and there is limited information available regarding genetic connectivity, diversity, and structure among these...
