Extensive Sharing of COI and CYB Haplotypes in the Reef-building Staghorn Coral (Acropora spp.) in Sabah, North Borneo

The relationship between zooplankton community structure and selected environmental conditions was investigated by simultaneous two-day consecutive sampling in the waters overlying Coral and sand sites off Sibu Island and a Seagrass site off Tinggi Island, Johor, Malaysia. A total of 129 taxa were i...
