The Role of Hybridization in the Evolution of Reef Corals (2006, background): “A. digitifera on the GBR, which spawns three months after the main mass-spawning event, constitutes a separate clade from the other four species in the A. humilis group based on analyses of the mtDNA intergenic region (Wolstenholme 2004).”
The new systematics of scleractinia: Integrating molecular and morphological evidence (2016, background): “The assembly of the complete Acropora digitifera genome (Shinzato et al. 2011) has provided a much-needed reference to identify and utilise orthologous regions for phylogenetic analyses.”
Seasonal reproduction in equatorial reef corals (2005, background): “Comparison of the gametogenic cycle Porites lutea from four studies between latitudes 23ES and 29EN Location Reproductive strategy Length of gametogenic cycle (months) Month of spawning Reference Eilat, Israel, N. Red Sea (29EN) Gonochoric, some male polyps found in predominantly female colony & 5, ”
Reproductive seasonality in an equatorial assemblage of scleractinian corals (2005, background): “Some colonies of Acropora digitifera and A. hyacinthus contained mature oocytes in both March and April in 2003 (Table 1), indicating that spawning in these populations was ‘‘split’’ over 2 months (Willis et al. 1985; Wolstenholme 2003).”
