Intrinsic constraints on sympodial growth morphologies of azooxanthellate scleractinian coral Dendrophyllia.
BACKGROUND: Asexual increase occurs in virtually all colonial organisms. However, little is known about the intrinsic mechanisms that control asexual reproduction and the resultant morphologies of colonies. Scleractinian corals, both symbiotic (zoaxanthellate) and non-symbiotic (azooxanthellate) cor...
