Nuclear eDNA metabarcoding primers for anthozoan coral biodiversity assessment [PDF]

PeerJ
The distributions of anthozoan corals are undercharacterized due to their wide bathymetric ranges, occurrences in remote locales, and difficulties of identification from morphology alone.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two species of Stichopathes Brook, 1889 (Hexacorallia: Antipatharia: Antipathidae) from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
We report the complete mitochondrial genomes of two antipatharian species, Stichopathes sp. SCBUCN-8849 and Stichopathes sp. SCBUCN-8850, collected between 120 and 180 m depth off Rapa Nui (∼ −27.1°, −109.4°).

Reef benthos of Seychelles - A field guide [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021
During the 2019 First Descent Seychelles Expedition, a variety of underwater technologies were deployed to survey the benthic flora and fauna of Seychelles Outer Islands’ shallow to deeper reefs. Submersibles, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and SCUBA

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

An underwater imagery identification guide for shallow, mesophotic and deep-sea benthos in Maldives [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
During the 2022 Nekton Maldives Mission, we deployed a variety of platforms (snorkelling, remotely-operated vehicles and manned submersibles) to conduct video surveys of the biodiversity and composition of shallow (< 30 m), mesophotic (30-150 m ...

Description of a new and widely distributed species of Bathypathes (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Antipatharia: Schizopathidae) previously misidentified as Bathypathes alternata Brook, 1889 [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
For many years an undescribed species of the genus Bathypathes has been misidentified as Bathypathes alternata Brook, 1889 (a species currently re-assigned to the genus Alternatipathes).

Lost in the dark: Antipatharia-Symbiodiniaceae association in the deep waters of the Red Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Black corals (Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) are a major component of mesophotic and deep marine ecosystems. Due to their preference for light deprived environments, black corals have historically been considered azooxanthellate, yet recent works have found

Coral garden conservation and restoration: how host taxon and ex-situ maintenance affect the microbiome of soft and hard corals [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Temperate coral gardens are dense coral formations, which support rich marine species diversity, enabling benthic-pelagic coupling. Over the past decades, coral gardens have been increasingly threatened by bottom fishing, oil and gas exploitation, and ...
