Caryophylliids (Anthozoa, Scleractinia) and mitochondrial gene order: Insights from mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenomics
Molecularly, the family Caryophylliidae is polyphyletic and different sets of genetic data
converge towards a consensus that a taxonomic review of this family is necessary. Overall …

Parentage analyses identify local dispersal events and sibling aggregations in a natural population of Millepora hydrocorals, a free‐spawning marine invertebrate
Dispersal is a critical process for the persistence and productivity of marine populations. For
many reef species, there is increasing evidence that local demography and self‐recruitment …
