Ploidy variation and its implications for reproduction and population dynamics in two sympatric Hawaiian coral species

2021-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Standing genetic variation is a major driver of fitness and resilience, and therefore of fundamental importance for threatened species such as stony corals. We analyzed RNA- seq data generated from 132 Montipora capitata and 119 Pocillopora acuta coral colonies collected from Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Our goals were to determine the extent of colony genetic variation and to study reproductive strategies in t...
