Fallen Pillars: The Past, Present, and Future Population Dynamics of a Rare, Specialist Coral-Algal Symbiosis

2018-07-09

Abstract excerpt

Rare and ecologically specialized species are at greater risk of extinction. Rarity in terms of low genotypic diversity may be obscured in sessile foundation species that can reproduce asexually. Asexual propagules are often only distinguishable from sexual recruits through molecular tools. Thus, molecular markers are necessary to assess genotypic variation and population structure in clonal organisms such as cora...
