BackgroundEvolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity. A previous study of Hawaiia
Phylogenetic trees provide a framework for organizing evolutionary histories across the tree of life and aid downstream comparative analyses such as metagenomic identification. Methods that rely on si
