[Coral-List] Coral paper "With eyes wide open ...." and video "Looks can be deceiving ..."

Dear Coral Friends,

The beginning of the year is marked by appearance of an interesting taxonomic work:

Schmidt-Roach, S., K.J. Miller, P. Lundgren & N. Andreakis. 2014.  With eyes wide open: a revision of species within and closely related to the Pocillopora damicornis species complex (Scleractinia; Pocilloporidae) using morphology and genetics.  Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 179, 1-33.

Also, our young colleague Sebastian Schmidt-Roach presented an intriguing 3-min video entitled "Looks can be deceiving - understanding species diversity in corals" for 2013 Bommies Award, a science and communication award hosted by Great Barrier Reef Foundation.  You may enjoy the video and vote for it during next eight days via Facebook by going to:

Cheers,

Vassil
