  abstract = {{I}n contrast to most {C}aribbean corals, the mustard hill coral {P}orites astreoides {L}amarck, 1816 has seen its relative coverage increasing across its distribution range in recent years. {I}nterpreting the reasons of such success remains, however, challenging. {O}n the one hand, genetic homogeneity has been observed over large distances, in line with a large effective population size and/or high migration rate. {O}n the other hand, strong genetic differentiation has been recently observed across depths within regions, consistent with some of the life history traits of {P}. astreoides, such as brooding of larvae followed by a short larval pelagic duration. {B}ased on seven informative microsatellite markers and extensive sampling covering a large part of the {P}. astreoides distribution in the {C}aribbean, including six depth transects, we assessed multi-scale genetic connectivity patterns to test whether populations were structured by bathymetry, microenvironments or geography. {W}hile genetic diversity was similar in {P}. astreoides populations, genetic differentiation was observed not only over broad spatial scales, but also at the island scale or within a site along a depth transect. {I}solation by distance was observed across the {L}esser {A}ntilles populations. {H}owever, genetic homogeneity was also observed over large distances, which, in juxtaposition to significant genetic structure within various locations across the {C}aribbean, has led to a complex spatial pattern of genetic differentiation in {P}. astreoides for which several likely explanations, including mixed reproductive strategy, are discussed.},
