Quantifying Spatial Genetic Structuring in Mesophotic Populations of the Precious Coral Corallium rubrum

While shallow water red coral populations have been overharvested in the past, nowadays, commercial harvesting shifted its pressure on mesophotic organisms. An understanding of red coral population structure, particularly larval dispersal patterns and connectivity among harvested populations is para...
