KAUST scientists discover that organ pipe coral is made up of at least 15 genetically distinct lineages, including two that may exist only in the Red Sea. The study uncovers hidden coral diversity and sheds new light on the evolutionary history and distribution of reef organisms. Discover more: kaust.news/vm-d

#ICYMI 🪸 Scientists have discovered that one of the ocean’s most recognizable corals, the iconic “organ pipe coral” — long believed to be a single species — includes at least 15 genetically distinct lineages. Two are known only from the Red SeaStory: floridamuseum.ufl.edu/scienc…
Close-up of a dense, textured coral structure. The coral is a reddish-brown color and composed of numerous small, tubular branches that create a complex, branching pattern. The branches have small openings or pores along their length, giving the coral a porous appearance

Here, we present the first comprehensive molecular assessment of octocoral diversity in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea, harnessing sampling efforts spanning the latitudinal extension of the basin and more than 800 m depths. This study provides:

ICMERS just started at KAUST! I‘ll be talking tomorrow about the unexpectedly dynamic gall crab communities here in the Red Sea. Come over at 10 am in B20 to learn whats happening on this special coral! @KaustResearch @HabbLab
