Morphological stasis masks ecologically divergent coral species on tropical reefs

2020-09-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Coral reefs are the epitome of species diversity, yet the number of described scleractinian coral species, the framework-builders of coral reefs, remains moderate by comparison. DNA sequencing studies are rapidly challenging this notion by exposing a wealth of undescribed diversity, but the evolutionary and ecological significance of this diversity remains largely unclear. Here, we present an an...
