Number of samples processed from each population. Regional populations were collected from nurseries (see Methods) except for the Cayman Islands, which was sampled using the same protocol but was not included within a nursery. Wild samples were collected from four reefs in Florida (“Cheetos,” “Miami,” “Sunny Isles” in Miami‐Dade, “Tavernier” in the Upper Keys) and two reefs in the Dominican Republic (“Punta Rusia” and “Cayo Carenero”).
