Abstract excerpt
Intra-colonial genetic variability (IGV), the presence of more than one genotype in a single colony, has been increasingly studied in scleractinians, revealing its high prevalence. Several studies hypothesised that IGV brings benefits, but few have investigated its roles from a genetic perspective. Here, using genomic data (SNPs), we investigated these potential benefits in populations of the coral Pocillopora...
