Shape-shifting corals: Molecular markers show morphology is evolutionarily plastic in Porites
BACKGROUND: Corals are notoriously difficult to identify at the species-level due to few diagnostic characters and variable skeletal morphology. This 'coral species problem' is an impediment to understanding the evolution and biodiversity of this important and threatened group of organisms...
