Acropora downingi in northeastern Arabian Peninsula

The study aimed to provide a more fundamental aim of understanding the structure of Acropora downingi in extreme environmental conditions. The sampling was carried out across the northeastern Arabian Peninsula, the warmest sea on Earth where corals are found. Acropora downingi is a non-model regional endemic table coral species. We used neutral genetic markers and invoked the neutral theory of molecular evolution to explain the slightly structure displayed for the population.
