[Coral-List] karyotype of Porites spp.?

[Jean-François Flot]

Dear Carly,

To the best of my knowledge, the only poritid species that was 
karyotyped so far is Goniopora lobata (2n=28). The reference is Heyward 
AJ (1985) Chromosomes of the coral Goniopora lobata (Anthozoa: 
Scleractinia). Heredity 55:269-271.
You may find other useful references in my paper entitled "Comparative 
coral cytogenetics" in the proceedings of the 10th ICRS (the PDF is 
accessible online at 
http://www.mnhn.fr/jfflot/publications/Flot2006ICRS1.pdf).

Best regards,
Jean-François
