Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity. A previous study of Hawaiian Montipora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) based on five
