  abstract = {{O}ccasional population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns sea star, {A}canthaster planci, are a major threat to coral reefs across the {I}ndo-{P}acific. {T}he presumed association between the serial nature of these outbreaks and the long larval dispersal phase makes it important to estimate larval dispersal; many studies have examined the population genetic structure of {A}. planci for this purpose using different genetic markers. {H}owever, only a few have focused on reef-scale as well as archipelago-scale genetic structure and none has used a combination of different genetic markers with different effective population sizes. {I}n our study, we used both mt{DNA} and microsatellite loci to examine {A}. planci population genetic structure at multiple spatial scales (from <2 km to almost 300 km) within and among four islands of the {S}ociety {A}rchipelago, {F}rench {P}olynesia. {O}ur analysis detected no significant genetic structure based on mt{DNA} (global {FST} = −0.007, {P} = 0.997) and low levels of genetic structure using microsatellite loci (global {FST} = 0.006, {P} = 0.005). {W}e found no significant isolation by distance patterns within the study area for either genetic marker. {T}he overall genetically homogenized pattern found in both the mitochondrial and nuclear loci of {A}. planci in the {S}ociety {A}rchipelago underscores the significant role of larval dispersal that may cause secondary outbreaks, as well as possible recent colonization in this area.},
