Abstract excerpt
Porites corals are vital components of tropical reef ecosystems worldwide, serving as ecosystem engineers and hubs of biodiversity in shallow water coral reefs. Despite their ecological significance and the widespread use of Porites spp. as models for research, the richness and evolutionary relationships of species within the genus remain elusive. In this study, we analyzed genomic data from 330 colonies of...
