Title:
Identifying resilient acroporid populations for effective restoration: Mapping genotypic distributions and connectivity in the U.S Virgin Islands
Publication Date:
2022
Institution:
NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center
Abstract:
"The distribution of Acropora spp. at three sites in the U.S. Virgin Islands (Thatch Cay, Lovango Cay, No Name Bay) are well documented based on previous tissue collection and long-term transect analysis. Rather than mapping by species alone, here we have the unique ability to capture population dynamics with regards to the number of unique genotypes sampled. Mapping the Acropora spp. by genotype provides a clearer understanding of the spatial relationships and expanse of distinct genotypes."
