Electrophoretic identification of poritid species (Anthozoa: Scleractinia)

- Summary

Abstract

Electrophoretic surveys of 13 enzyme-coding loci distinguished unambiguously five morphologically defined species of Porites and two species of Goniopora. Each species was identifiable solely by unique, qualitative banding patterns at 1–6 loci. Genetic distances give preliminary estimates that these Porites species diverged from common ancestors 8–22 Ma during the Miocene, and that the two Goniopora species diverged about 3.5 Ma in the Pliocene, assuming Porites evolved from Goniopora 55 million years ago (Ma).
