we identified 67 loci that are potentially under directional selection, but only 3 were potentially associated with protein coding genes. It would be instructive to study each gene separately and rank them according to their level of fixation, paying closer attention to those genes that are nearly fixed, a potential indication of stronger selection levels.
This highlights a critical gap in understanding how selection acts on genes. Focusing on nearly fixed genes could reveal which ones are under the strongest selective pressures.

By then, reefs had already been severely disturbed by major rearrangements that happened during World War II, where several hundred ships, landing crafts, and thousands of US Naval personnel had staged out of the Atoll (Lessa 1966).
