The role of hybridization in the evolution of reef corals
The importance of hybridization in the evolution of plant species is widely accepted, but its
contributions to animal species evolution remain less recognized. Here we review evidence …

Regionally isolated populations of an imperiled Caribbean coral, Acropora palmata
The movements of larvae between marine populations are difficult to follow directly and
have been the subject of much controversy, especially in the Caribbean. The debate centres …

The evolutionary history of Symbiodinium and scleractinian hosts—symbiosis, diversity, and the effect of climate change
Marine invertebrates representing at least five phyla are symbiotic with dinoflagellates from
the genus Symbiodinium. This group of single-celled protists was once considered to be a …

An enhanced target-enrichment bait set for Hexacorallia provides phylogenomic resolution of the staghorn corals (Acroporidae) and close relatives
Targeted enrichment of genomic DNA can profoundly increase the phylogenetic resolution
of clades and inform taxonomy. Here, we redesign a custom bait set previously developed …
