Comparison between colony morphology and molecular phylogeny in the Caribbean scleractinian coral genus Madracis.
A major challenge in coral biology is to find the most adequate and phylogenetically informative characters that allow for distinction of closely related coral species. Therefore, data on corallite morphology and genetic data are often combined to increase phylogenetic resolution. In this study, we...
