Ameripathidae, a new family of antipatharian corals (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Hexacorallia, Antipatharia) [PDF]

ZooKeys
A new family of antipatharian corals, Ameripathidae (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Antipatharia), is established for Ameripathes pseudomyriophylla Opresko & Horowitz, gen. et sp. nov. The new family resembles Myriopathidae and Stylopathidae in terms of the

The Extinction Risk–Range Change Relationship: Evidence From the Fossil Record

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change is a major driver for the wave of species extinctions predicted for this century. Extinction risk assessments are often estimated from climate‐driven reductions in the geographic ranges of species. However, the empirical relationship between extinction risk and range change remains unclear because few extinctions are ...

New Records of Two Genera Leptoseris and Phyllangia (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Scleractinia) from Korea

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2015
Two scleractinian species are newly recorded in Korea: Leptoseris mycetoseroides Wells, 1954 and Phyllangia hayamaensis (Eguchi, 1968). The two genera Leptoseris Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849 and Phyllangia Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848 are also newly ...

Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Notes on various British Anthozoa [PDF]

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1911
This species is described and figured by Gosse in his Actinologia Britannica, quoting its original discoverer Holdsworth, who obtained a number of specimens at the entrance of Dartmouth harbour from among the roots of Laminaria. In Section III of the Appendix, Gosse (p. 355) adds: “I have taken this at Torquay. It has also been found at Mizen Head, and

Biological activities of secondary metabolites of the order Zoanthids

Iranian South Medical Journal, 2015
The phylum Cnidaria is a large, diverse and ecologically important group of marine invertebrates, which produce powerful toxins and venoms. The number of marine natural product from cnidarians isolated from class Anthozoa.

Morphological and Phylogenomic Insights Into Hidden Diversity in Coralliidae With Description of a New Species Paraminabea xishaensis sp. nov. From the South China Sea

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The family Coralliidae (Octocorallia) includes ecologically and economically important octocorals that build rigid, three‐dimensional skeletal frameworks from shallow reefs to the deep sea. Despite extensive morphological study, species boundaries remain difficult to delimit because of morphological convergence, phenotypic plasticity, and the limited ...

Force-dependent discharge of nematocysts in the sea anemone Haliplanella luciae (Verrill)

Biology Open, 2012
Summary Sea anemones discharge cnidae (‘stinging capsules’ including nematocysts) to capture prey and to defend themselves. In the present study, we tested the relationship between the force of test probes striking feeding tentacles and discharge of ...
