Microsatellite and MIG-seq data showing two clusters within Heliopora. (A) No a priori STRUCTURE plot for microsatellites confirms there are two lineages. Blue and white panels below STRUCTURE plot show where these individuals are assigned in the MIG-seq data. White panels indicate individuals clustering with H. hiberniana sp. nov., blue panels indicate individuals clustering with H. coerulea. Heliopora hiberniana sp. nov. (1) is differentiated from the sympatric H. coerulea population (4) at the type locality – Hibernia Reef, but sympatric with H. coerulea populations from Ashmore Reef (2) and Browse Island (3). Population 1 is white, populations 2–8 are blue. Population 8 = Christmas Island was not included in the MIG-seq analysis. (B) Next-generation MIG-seq analysis of individuals confirms and clarifies the group assignments in the microsatellite analysis.
