Hybridization as driving force for cryptic species diversity in the Caribbean coral genus Madracis.

Scientific reports - 29 Sept 2025

Abstract excerpt

Species boundaries in scleractinian corals remain highly elusive due to conflicting patterns between morphological and molecular phylogenies, often caused by morphological plasticity, occurrence of cryptic species, incomplete lineage sorting or introgressive hybridization. Here, we use an integrated systematics approach, which combines reduced representation genome sequencing (nextRAD), micro-morphometric...
