First evidence for backcrossing of F1 hybrids in Acropora corals under sperm competition
Abstract Acropora is a species-rich genus of reef-building corals with highly diverse morphologies. Hybridization among intercrossing species potentially influences species diversity within Acropora. However, the mechanisms that allow hybridization/backcrossing remain unknown. Although we tested a l...
