Lara Adele Jacobs Hansen, Maria E. A. Santos, Hiroki Kise, Nuba Zamora-Jordán, James Davis Reimer
This study uses ultraconserved elements to analyze the phylogenetic relationships between Palythoa sibling species, finding intermixed lineages and gene tree discordance, suggesting a species complex rather than distinct species.
