Sampling locations for Plectropomus leopardus in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR; red reefs) and the Coral Sea (blue reefs). Sampling locations for reference collections of congeneric species; Plectropomus laevis and P. maculatus are shown as Pl and Pm, respectively. All reference samples were collected at locations where P. leopardus do not occur or from samples previously identified to be “pure” individuals (Harrison, Berumen, et al., 2017). The Southern Equatorial Current is considered the dominant oceanographic feature in the region and moves west through the Coral Sea as the North Vanuatu Jet (NVJ) and the New Caledonia Jet (NCJ), before bifurcating on the central GBR as the north flowing Hiri Current (HC) and south flowing East Australia Current (EAC). The solid black line shows the 120 m depth contour indicating the lowest approximate water level in the GBR and the Coral Sea during the last two glacial periods between 190–130 kya and 10–120 kya. Currents are re‐drawn from Burrage (1993) and Ceccarelli et al. (2013).
