Contrasting patterns of connectivity among endemic and widespread fire coral species (Millepora spp.) in the tropical Southwestern Atlantic
Fire corals are the only branching corals in the South Atlantic and provide an important
ecological role as habitat-builders in the region. With three endemic species (Millepora …

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 …

Macroalgae and zoanthids require physical contact to harm corals in Southwestern Atlantic
Abstract Space can be limited in reef ecosystems leading to competitive interactions among
sessile organisms. Some competitive mechanisms can require physical contact while others …

Fire coral clones demonstrate phenotypic plasticity among reef habitats
Clonal populations are often characterized by reduced levels of genotypic diversity, which
can translate into lower numbers of functional phenotypes, both of which impede adaptation …
