Species and population genomic differentiation in Pocillopora corals (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) [PDF]
Genetica, 2022 Correctly delimiting species and populations is a prerequisite for studies of connectivity, adaptation and conservation. Genomic data are particularly useful to test species differentiation for organisms with few informative morphological characters or low discrimination of cytoplasmic markers, as in Scleractinians.

Molecular cytogenetic study on the scleractinian coral <i>Micromussaamakusensis</i> (Veron, 1990) (Hexacorallia, Anthozoa, Cnidaria): isolation of five fluorescence <i>in situ</i> hybridization markers. [PDF]
Comp CytogenetAbstract Scleractinian (stony) corals are foundational to reef ecosystems, yet their taxonomy remains unresolved due to morphological plasticity and limited cytogenetic data.
