Spatial variation in spawning timing for multi-species Acropora assemblages in the Red Sea

Spatial variation in spawning timing for multi-species Acropora assemblages in the Red Sea

Sexual reproduction is a crucial process for reef building coral populations to maximize genetic diversity and recover from large scale disturbances. Mass spawning events by Acropora species represent critical opportunities for populations to persist, and a process that is increasingly exploited to...
