Fuzzy species limits in Mediterranean gorgonians (Cnidaria, Octocorallia): inferences on speciation processes [PDF]

, 2017
The study of the interplay between speciation and hybridization is of primary importance in evolutionary biology. Octocorals are ecologically important species whose shallow phylogenetic relationships often remain to be studied. In the Mediterranean Sea,

Spatiotemporal eDNA Monitoring of Marine Biodiversity in a Hyperurbanised Coastal Environment

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
Using environmental DNA and a metabarcoding approach, we amplified and sequenced the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene for invertebrates and the 16S rRNA gene for vertebrates. Our spatiotemporal analyses over a year and across four sites in Singapore revealed distinct communities between sites and timepoints for both the COI and 16S rRNA assays ...

Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae

, 2013
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.
