Abstract:Ecological speciation through adaptation to different habitats has been proposed for a variety of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species. Such divergence of lineages in the absence of strong geographic isolation occurs most readily when the same traits are involved in both adaptation to different ecologies and reproductive isolation. In corals with photosynthetic symbionts and environment-mediated spawning events, adaptation to different light regimes associated with varying depths could provide opportuni… Show more
