New Records of Cold-Water Corals from Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016 Two cold-water coral taxa, Octocorallia in the class Anthozoa and Stylasteridae in the class Hydrozoa, were identified. Deep-water samples were collected in fishing nets at depths ranging between 20 and 200 m along the coasts of the East Sea in Korea ...

Global Cold-Water Coral Biodiversity Redistribution Under Projected Climate Change. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolCold‐water corals are key habitat providers in the world's oceans, yet their global distribution, diversity patterns, and vulnerability to climate change remain poorly understood. Our study mapped the global distribution of 741 cold‐water coral species and showed that while the overall coral biome may persist in the future, many species will shift ...

Cnidarian Pattern Recognition Receptor Repertoires Reflect Both Phylogeny and Life History Traits
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are evolutionarily ancient and crucial components of innate immunity, recognizing danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and activating host defenses.

Cnidarian Interaction with Microbial Communities: From Aid to Animal’s Health to Rejection Responses
Marine Drugs, 2018 The phylum Cnidaria is an ancient branch in the tree of metazoans. Several species exert a remarkable longevity, suggesting the existence of a developed and consistent defense mechanism of the innate immunity capable to overcome the potential repeated ...
