<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
is a widely used coral “lab-rat” species with highly variable morphology and a broad biogeographic range (Red Sea to western central Pacific). Here we show, by analysing Cytochorme Oxidase I sequences, from 241 samples across this range, that this taxon in fact comprises four deeply divergent clades corresponding to the Pacific-Western Australia, Chagos-Madagascar-South Africa, Gulf of Aden-Zanzibar-Madagascar, and Red Sea-Persian/Arabian Gulf-Kenya. On the basis of the fossil record of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
, these four clades diverged from one another 51.5-29.6 Mya, i.e., long before the closure of the Tethyan connection between the tropical Indo-West Pacific and Atlantic in the early Miocene (16–24 Mya) and should be recognised as four distinct species. These findings have implications for comparative ecological and/or physiological studies carried out using
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
as a model species, and highlight the fact that phenotypic plasticity, thought to be common in scleractinian corals, can mask significant genetic variation.</p>

<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
is a widely used coral “lab-rat” species with highly variable morphology and a broad biogeographic range (Red Sea to western central Pacific). Here we show, by analysing Cytochorme Oxidase I sequences, from 241 samples across this range, that this taxon in fact comprises four deeply divergent clades corresponding to the Pacific-Western Australia, Chagos-Madagascar-South Africa, Gulf of Aden-Zanzibar-Madagascar, and Red Sea-Persian/Arabian Gulf-Kenya. On the basis of the fossil record of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
, these four clades diverged from one another 51.5-29.6 Mya, i.e., long before the closure of the Tethyan connection between the tropical Indo-West Pacific and Atlantic in the early Miocene (16–24 Mya) and should be recognised as four distinct species. These findings have implications for comparative ecological and/or physiological studies carried out using
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
as a model species, and highlight the fact that phenotypic plasticity, thought to be common in scleractinian corals, can mask significant genetic variation.</p>

<body>
<p>DNA barcoding, usually based on the mitochondrial COI fragment
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">1</xref>
, has been extensively used to discriminate between closely related species, to identify new, cryptic or invasive species, and to assess biodiversity across many animal phyla
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">1</xref>
. The rule-of-thumb in DNA barcoding is that interspecific COI divergence is generally > 2%, whereas intraspecific variation is < 1%
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">1</xref>
. However, based on 90 species from 44 genera belonging to 14 families, this criterion has been suggested as not being appropriate for most scleractinian corals
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>
(or anthozoans in general) because this region evolves very slowly in these organisms and consequently both inter- and intra-specific variation are extremely low. We re-evaluated this conclusion by examining COI divergence and phylogeny of the “lab-rat” scleractinian coral,
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
, a species, which has been the focus of coral research over the last four decades.
<italic>S. pistillata</italic>
is a widely-distributed coral species in the Indo-Pacific, with numerous morphological variations (morphotypes) across different habitats, depths, and geographic regions
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b3">3</xref>
. Revisiting relationships between these morphotypes is necessary in order to ensure the correct taxonomy for comparative studies based on this common coral species

<title>Results</title>
<p>We obtained COI sequences from 241 
<italic>S. pistillata</italic>
colonies collected from 34 locations across most of its range (Western Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea and Persian/Arabian Gulf,
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>
). Interspecific variation in COI sequences was one of the highest documented among scleractinian genera (sequence diversity (p-distance) = 0.01245 ± 0.00434), only surpassed by
<italic>Porites</italic>
(0.02686 ± 0.0030) and
<italic>Siderastrea</italic>
(0.0141 ± 0.0027), which are globally distributed genera consisting of multiple morphologically divergent species (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Fig. S1</xref>
). High variation of the COI gene among these 3 genera suggests very early divergence of species within these genera
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">5</xref>
.
<italic>Porites</italic>
and
<italic>Siderastrea</italic>
are extant in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, whereas
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
is extinct in the Atlantic and only survived in the Indo-Pacific after the Plio-Pleistocene
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">5</xref>
.</p>
<p>Phylogenetic construction based on COI sequences found 4 distinct clades of
<italic>S. pistillata</italic>
(
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2A</xref>
). Clade 1 is comprised of specimens from the entire Pacific region and East Indian Ocean, ranging from New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific, Shikoku (Japan) in the northwest Pacific, to western Australia in the Indian Ocean (Pacific-Western Australia clade, PWA). Clade 2 includes specimens from Chagos, St. Brandon's Island (Mauritius), La Réunion, Zanzibar, South Africa, and Madagascar (Chagos-Madagascar-South Africa clade, CMSA). Clade 3 includes specimens from the east African coast, the west coast of Madagascar and the Gulf of Aden (Gulf of Aden-Zanzibar-Madagascar clade, AGZM). Clade 4 includes the northwest Indian Ocean (Red Sea-Persian/Arabian Gulf and Kenya, RSPAGK). The genus
<italic>Seriatopora</italic>
formed a fifth clade embedded at the base of clades 1 and 2.</p>
<p>Intra-clade p-distance based on COI (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Table S1</xref>
) was considerably low (clade 1: 0.00017 ± 0.00009, clade 2: 0.00000 ± 0.00000, clade 3: 0.00460 ± 0.00193, and clade 4: 0.00017 ± 0.00012). Higher intra-clade distance for clade 3 was due to the presence of specimens from Yemen that made a separate sub-clade into clade 3 (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2A</xref>
). Inter-clade p-distance (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Table S1</xref>
) was always higher than intra-clade p-distance and ranged from 0.01274 ± 0.00436 (clade 3 vs clade 4) to 0.01592 ± 0.00492 (clade 1 vs clade 3), with the exception for clade 1 vs clade 2 (0.00378 ± 0.00248) and this could be due to the recent split between clade 1 and 2 compared to that between other clades (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>
). The results form p-distance analyses also suggested the presence of 4 clades of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
(
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Table S1</xref>
).</p>
<p>The four
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
clades were also supported by phylogenies based on nuclear ITS and calmodulin intron 3 (CAD3) (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Fig. S2, Table S2</xref>
). The deletion in CAD3 and duplication of tRNAW support the separation of the clades. In case of CAD3, complete deletion occurred in the samples from Pacific (clade 1), mixture of deletion and non-deletion in the central Indian Ocean (clade 2 and 3) and complete non-deletion in the Red Sea (clade 4). Similar results were also seen from the analysis of tRNAW duplication events (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Table S2, Fig. S3</xref>
). Comparison of tRNAW sequences from four clades showed duplication event only in clade 1 and clade 2 (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Table S2</xref>
). Sequence results of tRNAW were also supported by restricted fragment length polymorphism gel pattern using RsaI restriction enzyme (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="s1">Fig. S3</xref>
). While clade 1, 2 and 4 showed distinct patterns, clade 3 had mixture of clade 2 and 4. The results from the analysis of the
<italic>Symbiodinium</italic>
clade association showed that
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
in the pacific (clade 1) associated with
<italic>Symbiodinium</italic>
clade C and in the Red Sea (clade 4) associated with
<italic>Symbiodinium</italic>
clades A, C or A + C combinations. In case of samples from the Indian Ocean
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
clades associated with
<italic>Symbiodinium</italic>
clades C, D or C + D. However,
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
samples from Yemen (clade 3) associated with
<italic>Symbiodinium</italic>
clade A and C similar to their clade 4 counterparts. This is also clear from the results of phylogenetic analysis in which the samples form Yemen (clade 3) form their own separate sub-clade. Differential
<italic>Symbiodinium</italic>
association could be due the presence of corals in different regional environments, which can significantly influence the ecology and evolution of this relationship
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6">6</xref>
.</p>
<p>The COI phylogeny of
<italic>S. pistillata</italic>
is corroborated by corallite structure (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2B</xref>
), although extensive morphological variation still exists
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7</xref>
. Generally, corallites are round in shape and regularly distributed along the branches. However, corallite arrangement along the branches varies among the 4 clades (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>
for detailed description of the skeletal properties in 4 clades).</p>
<p>Divergence time between main clades was inferred using relaxed molecular clock based on COI sequences obtained from this study. Molecular clock calculation was calibrated using the earliest fossil record of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
(
<italic>S. octophylla</italic>
, also see ‘Divergence time' section in the Material and Methods for explanation of fossil record), found in Oman and dated around 65–70 Mya
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8">8</xref>
. Mean divergence time of clades 1 and 2 from clades 3 and 4 is estimated to be > 51.46 mya (node A), followed by the divergence of clades 3 and 4 from each other (~34.55 mya, node C), the split of clades 1 and 2 from
<italic>Seriatopora</italic>
(~41.65 mya, node B), and finally the divergence of clades 1 and 2 from each other (~28.77 mya, node D) (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>
). These changes correspond to significant changes in marine connectivity during the middle Eocene (54–38 mya) and Oligocene (38–23 mya)

in which the circumtropical Tethys seaway began to fragment, leading to the isolation of Europe from the Indian Ocean, and the relocation of the centre of diversity for shallow marine species (including corals), from the west Tethys to the Middle East/East-African region
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11">11</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12">12</xref>
. Fragmentation of the Tethys seaway may therefore have driven the isolation of
<italic>S. pistillata</italic>
and the emergence of these different clades

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>These results highlight a number of issues in the evolution and taxonomy of this very common coral species. First, our results support the view that, for some marine taxa, the highest biodiversity is recorded in the Indian Ocean
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">10</xref>
, particularly the seas around Arabia, rather than the west Pacific. While three distinct clades overlap along the Red Sea, Arabian Peninsula, African coast, Madagascar, and the oceanic islands in the west-central Indian Ocean, the entire Pacific Ocean is dominated by a single clade. Second, the genus
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
appears to be paraphyletic, as
<italic>Seriatopora hystrix</italic>
/
<italic>caliendrum</italic>
are embedded at the base of the PWA and CMSA clades. This supports similar findings for many other conventional taxonomic groups of corals, and further indicates that the present classification of corals, even at the family and genus level, needs major revision
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15">15</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>
. Morphological convergence, phenotypic plasticity, recent speciation, and hybridization are likely causes of such patterns/phylogenies. Third, we show that the
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
<italic>pistillata</italic>
” complex consists of at least four clades. Corroborating this with a detailed morphological and microstructural characterization will be an important step towards formally resolving the taxonomy of this common coral species. In the Gulf of Aden, a recent genetic study
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>
discriminated between two
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
clades, with a third clade including specimens from the western Pacific
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>
. Moreover, morphologic and morphometric data showed the clades to be two distinct species
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>
,
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
and
<italic>Stylophora madagascarensis</italic>
Veron, 2000. In the latter, strong genetic divergence was noted between the Indian and western Pacific populations, despite no difference in skeletal morphology. We suspect that two of the four clades evident in the present study could correspond to the above-mentioned species, with the other two clades comprising undescribed
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
species. These results demonstrate that the widely used binomen
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
actually encompasses several identities.</p>
<p>Four distinct clades of
<italic>S. pistillata</italic>
highlight uncertainty in both the taxonomy
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b3">3</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>
and systematics of corals
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15">15</xref>
. This inhibits potential action at the species level
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17">17</xref>
to conserve corals and coral reefs, such as assisted migration
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>
which depends on a definitive understanding of biogeographic ranges in order to avoid unintended species introductions, as well as policy action to identify species which are critically endangered
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b19">19</xref>
. Multiple identities in
<italic>S. pistillata</italic>
cast doubt on prior research based on a single species
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7</xref>
, and challenge the paradigm of coral as phenotypically plastic organisms with limited genetic variation

<title>Map showing the locations from which
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
samples were obtained (shown as red dots).</title>
<p>The division of four regions based on the four clades of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
is marked in colours. Clade 1 - Pacific-Western Australia clade (Pink), Clade 2 - Chagos-Madagascar-South Africa clade (Green), Clade 3 - Gulf of Aden-Zanzibar-Madagascar clade (Blue) and Clade 4 - Red Sea-Persian/Arabian Gulf-Kenya clade (Brown). The samples were obtained from following locations; Japan (Kochi, Okinawa), Taiwan (Beitou, Penghu, Green Island, Kenting), Taiping Island, Tioman, Indonesia, Australia (Lord Howe, Lizard Island, Western Australia), New Caledonia, The Chagos Archipelago, Re Union, Mauritius (St. Brandon's), Madagascar (North and South), South Africa, Kenya (Kanamai), Zanzibar, Yemen, Dijibouti, Saudi Arabia (Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Aqaba), Oman, Iran and Red Sea (Eilat). The dotted green lines represent hypothetical extension of clade 4 and clade 2 to Pakistan-North India (Gulf of Kachhch) and Laccadives (west coast of India), south India and Sri Lanka. Area covered by blue line in the inset map shows the distribution of
<italic>Stylophora pistillata</italic>
(modified from the map in

<title>Phylogenetic analysis of 241 COI sequences of

.</title>
<p>(A) Bootstrap values are based on Baysian/ML/NJ analyses. The numbers in the brackets stand for the total number of samples obtained form each location. Morphotypes and corallite structure of the four clades of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
. (B) Based on SEM photos, in clade 1, six regular primary septa that are confluent to the center, fusing with the columella and corallites, are separated by the cœnosteum covered with sharp, fine and thin spinules. In clade 2, the arrangement of primary septa is similar to clade 1, but the spinules in the cœnosteum are more rounded, and fused corallites appear immersed in the cœnosteum. In clade 3, there are six poorly-developed primary septa with a rudimental second cycle of septa visible in some corallites. Septa remain separated and not confluent with the center. A columella is absent and the corallites are separated by poorly developed walls that raise to the surface of the cœnosteum. Spinules are rounded and poorly developed. Finally, in clade 4, there is one cycle of six poorly-developed septa that is continuous with the hoods in the cœnosteum; the columella is well developed but is not fused with septa. Hoods are rounded and regularly distributed. Seriatopora morphotype and corallite structure is shown between clade 2 and clade 3.</p>

<title>Results from molecular dating on the phylogenetic tree of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
.</title>
<p>Five major ancestral nodes (A, B, C, D and E) to the clade relating to the four described clades of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
were labeled to represent the major divergence events in the evolutionary history of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
. Numbers on nodes are divergences time for each clades. The table shows the divergence time of each clade on the phylogenetic tree of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
. Time of first appearance of
<italic>Stylophora</italic>
was used as reference time on the Bayesian evaluation of divergence on Beast (65–70 mya). Results of molecular dating are listed in table which includes means of divergence time, standard error of means, 95% of highest posterior density intervals (HPD), effective sample sizes (ESS) and posterior probability of each clades.</p>
