posted on 2023-05-17, 09:24 authored by Hsu, TH, Adiputra, YT, Christopher BurridgeChristopher Burridge, Gwo, JCMottled spinefoot Siganus fuscescens and white-spotted spinefoot Siganus canaliculatus are two similar species that differ subtly in colouration and morphology. Three major mtDNA clades were identified for these species, but individuals were clustered by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) according to geography rather than morphology, suggesting that the colour morphs are interbreeding.
