Long distance dispersal and vertical gene flow in the Caribbean brooding coral Porites astreoides
To date, most assessments of coral connectivity have emphasized long-distance horizontal
dispersal of propagules from one shallow reef to another. The extent of vertical connectivity …

Geographic differences in vertical connectivity in the Caribbean coral Montastraea cavernosa despite high levels of horizontal connectivity at shallow depths
The deep reef refugia hypothesis proposes that deep reefs can act as local recruitment
sources for shallow reefs following disturbance. To test this hypothesis, nine polymorphic …
