[EN] Scientific knowledge on phylogeny, phylogeography and genetic population of Scleractinia is mainly based on shallow and tropical corals, and only few works involved deep-sea and azooxanthellate corals, whose species composed half of the total number of corals identified so far. Just recently, t...
