Geographical distribution of Madrepora oculata and Madrepora carolina. The global map shows the distribution of the two reef-forming species of the genus Madrepora (sources: World Conservation Monitoring Centre of the United Nation Environmental Programme, UNEP-WCMC; Ocean Biogeographic Information System, OBIS). While a large number of records of M. oculata (yellow dots; live occurrences indicated by a red cross) is reported in the North Atlantic and the West and South Pacific, M. carolina (white dots) is endemic to the NW Atlantic. The red polygon highlights the study area off Angola in the SW Atlantic, where living M. oculata have been discovered for the first time. The map is based on the digital elevation model (DEM) CleanTOPO2 (an edited version of the SRTM30 Plus) published by Patterson (2006; http://www.shadedrelief.com/cleantopo2) and was created with ESRI ArcGIS Desktop 10.7.
