This information is desperately needed in the Caribbean where the 2 dominant shallow water corals <em>Acropora cervicornis</em> and <em>Acropora palmata</em> have suffered unprecedented declines. Here we compare the population genetic structure in the staghorn coral <em>A. cervicornis</em> across the greater Caribbean using DNA sequence data from 1 mitochondrial and 3 nuclear genes. Data from 160 individuals from 22 populations and 9 regions show that <em>A. cervicornis</em> exhibits significant population genetic structure across the greater Caribbean in both the mitochondrial (Φ<sub>st</sub> = 0.130) and nuclear data (Φ<sub>st</sub> = 0.067). The highest population structure was observed in the species' own, native mtDNA haplotypes (Φ<sub>st</sub> = 0.235). Introgressed alleles from <em>A. palmata</em> tempered higher population structure in <em>A. cervicornis</em> over regional scales but in some cases generated highly localized “introgression hot spots” and fine-scale genetic structure among reefs separated by as few as 2 km. These data show that larval dispersal over moderate or long distances (&gt;500 km) is limited for this threatened species and in some cases locally limited as well. Thus, the endangered Caribbean staghorn corals require local source populations for their recovery and targeted conservation efforts over spatial scales much smaller than the hundreds to thousands of kilometers usually proposed for marine reserves.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Restricted gene flow in the Caribbean staghorn coral <i>Acropora cervicornis</i>: Implications for the recovery of endangered reefs","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-09 01:32:35.912603","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2006,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-07-24","DateCreate":"2023-07-24","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000243585900005","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1093/jhered/esl057"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":365803,"PubliDate":2006,"Pagination":"40-50","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"98","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43066,"SerRR":"Journal of Heredity.
