Description
Summary:Discusses the methodology and results of a study that aimed to 'determine the influence of ENSO [El Niño-Southern Oscillation] 1997-1998 on the allelic diversity of P. damicornis [branching and broadcast spawner] and P. panamensis [massive and brooding type], 'determine the effect of larval recruitment and survivorship on genetic connectivity among coral populations along the west coast of Mexico', and 'assess the level of genetic connectivity and discontinuities among coral populations along the west coast of Mexico, based on genetic and geographic information'.
