Specimens of (a) Amphistegina lobifera, (b) A. lessonii, and (c) A. radiata collected from the same habitat in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea. Scale bars represent 1 mm in (a) and (b), and 2 mm in (c). Note that specimens were preserved in 96% ethanol, and therefore symbiont pigment colour shown here does not represent natural coloration. (d) Sampling sites across the Mediterranean (Sicily and Greece), Red Sea (Eilat), Indian Ocean (Maldives, Mauritius, Zanzibar, and Ningaloo Reef), and Pacific Ocean (Indonesia, Kimbe Bay in Papua New Guinea, Okinawa in Japan, Palau, Micronesia, Hawai’i, Great Barrier Reef, and Lord Howe Island). Red, green, and blue circles represent collection sites for A. lessonii, A. lobifera, and A. radiata, respectively.
