A Description of Acropora sp. 1 in the Mombasa Lagoon in Kenya - a New Species or a potential Hybrid.

Show other versions (1)

Acropora species are taxonomically complex because they are highly polymorphic and have the potential to cross-fertilize and form hybrids that may be competent to settle, undergo metamorphosis and survive for up to 3.5 years (Willis et al. 1997). In Kenya A. valida , A. secale and A. lutkeni are, at times, remarkably similar in the field and can be difficult to separate. Mangubhai & Harrison (2006) highlighted the difficulties in separating A. valida from A. secale in the Mombasa lagoon due to the presence of a large number of immediate ‘morphs’ with characteristics of both species.
