Limited Genetic Connectivity between Gorgonian Morphotypes along a Depth Gradient.
Gorgonian species show a high morphological variability in relation to the environment in which they live. In coastal areas, parameters such as temperature, light, currents, and food availability vary significantly with depth, potentially affecting morphology of the colonies and the structure of the...
