Phylogeography and morphological variation of the branching octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae

Coral reef anthozoans exhibit extensive morphological variation across and within environmental clines making it difficult to define species boundaries. The relative contributions of genetic variation and ecophenotypic plasticity to the observed phenotypic variation are unknown in most cases. The br...
