Title: A bio-oceanographic filter to larval dispersal in a reef-building coral.
Entry Type: Article.
Abstract: "Gene flow was shown to be limited between western and eastern Caribbean populations of the reef-building coral, Acropora palmata. However, some mixing was detected among populations near Puerto Rico. Our genetic analyses categorize A. palmata samples from the east coast of the Dominican Republic with the western Caribbean population, suggesting a filter . . .
