A simple molecular technique for distinguishing species reveals frequent misidentification of Hawaiian corals in the genus Pocillopora
Species within the scleractinian genus Pocillopora Lamarck 1816 exhibit extreme phenotypic plasticity, making identification based on morphology difficult. However, the mitochondrial open reading frame (mtORF) marker provides a useful genetic tool for identification of most species in this genus, wi...
