This study reviews the key factors in the genome evolution and species diversity formation of groupers (Epinephelus coioides coioides). Groupers are important coral reef fish with rich species diversity, and the genome plays an important role in their adaptive evolution, speciation, and ecological adaptability. By integrating the research results of genomics, phylogenetics, and population genetics, this paper explores the biological factors that affect the genome structure and species diversity formation of groupers, such as gene flow, geographic isolation, ecological differentiation, and reproductive isolation. In addition, it discusses how factors such as climate change, geological events, and genomic selection drive the diversification of groupers. Through the analysis of the genome evolution of groupers, the study reveals the mechanism of adaptive evolution and provides a theoretical basis for future conservation and fishery management.
