Data and scripts from - Cryptic species and hybridisation in corals: challenges and opportunities for conservation and restoration

We investigate the prevalence of cryptic coral groups and assess evidence for their permeability to gene flow (hybridisation) via a structured literature review of genomic studies. Using reproducible criteria to detect distinct genetic groups that are sympatric, we find that 68% of nominal species represented in population genomic studies show evidence for comprising partially reproductively isolated groups and that these distinct groups are often linked by gene flow. The associated datasets and scripts summarise findings from population genomic studies and form the bases of data synthesis based analyses presented in the accompanying paper.
