A multi-character analysis of the Caribbean coral Montastrea annularis (Ellis and Solander, 1786) amd its two sibling species, M. faveolata (Ellis and Solander, 1786) and M. frnaksi (Gregory 1895)
Weil E and Knowlton N. 1994. A multi-character analysis of the Caribbean coral Montastrea annularis (Ellis and Solander, 1786) amd its two sibling species, M. faveolata (Ellis and Solander, 1786) and M. frnaksi (Gregory 1895). Bulletin of Marine Science. 54(3):1-62
The coral species M. annularis has a wide range across the Caribbean, so it is expected to show variability in its traits. This study attempts to find these variations by studying M. annularis in an array of sites.
