The scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis type β is known to present a mixed
reproduction mode: through sexual reproduction, new genotypes are created, while asexual …

A comprehensive inventory of global biodiversity would be greatly improved by automating
methods for species delimitation. The Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery method, the …

Isolation by distance (IBD) is one of the main modes of differentiation in marine species,
above all in species presenting low dispersal capacities. This study reports the genetic …

Assessing population connectivity is necessary to construct effective marine protected areas.
This connectivity depends, among other parameters, inherently on species dispersal …

Background In the context of global change, coral reefs and their associated biodiversity are
under threat. Several conservation strategies using population genetics have been explored …

Abstract Background The widespread Indo-Pacific coral species Pocillopora acuta Lamarck,
1816 displays varying levels of asexual versus sexual reproduction, with strong …

Sea cucumber populations are declining worldwide through overfishing. This is also the
case for the greenfish Stichopus chloronotus in spite of its moderate commercial value. We …

Sea cucumbers are increasingly exploited for human consumption and for their curative
properties, and many wild populations are now depleted or in danger of extinction. While …

The morphological and genetic identification of hydrozoans collected in the reef patches of
Santa Marta, Colombia was carried out. This study allows to present two new records of …

Ce travail de thèse porte sur la connectivité des populations de coraux du genre Pocillopora
dans le Sud-Ouest de l'océan Indien et l'océan Pacifique tropical. Ces coraux sont répartis …
