Figure 7. A in Overview of the taxonomy of zooxanthellate Scleractinia

Figure 7. A hypothetical view of reticulate evolutionary change within a group of species belonging to a single syngameon, after Veron (2000a). At time 0 the group forms three principal species, each of which is distinct and widely dispersed by strong ocean currents. At time 1 the group forms many species that are geographically isolated because of weak ocean currents. At time 2 the group forms four species that are again widely dispersed by strong currents. Over the long geological interval to time 3 the group has been repackaged several times.

Figure 6. Morphological gradation in Pocillopora damicornis colonies as illustrated by Veron & Pichon (1976), then re-classified by Schmidt-Roach et al. (2013b) using molecular methods. The latter study revealed that this compilation includes two cryptic species: Pocillopora brevicornis (the blue box) and Pocillopora acuta (the yellow box). These species are being re-described (Schmidt-Roach et al., in press). Numbers are figure numbers in the original publication.
