Black coral forests in the Guanacaste Conservation Area, Costa Rica: species and distribution [PDF]
, 2021 Introduction: Little is known about the antipatharians in Costa Rica, only three species are known from the Pacific and the occurrence of coral forests was previously reported only for Isla del Coco. Black coral forests were observed at

Mitochondrial Group I Introns in Hexacorals Are Regulatory Genetic Elements [PDF]
, 2020 Hexacoral mitochondrial genomes are highly economically organized and vertebrate-like in size, structure, and gene content. A hallmark, however, is the presence of group I introns interrupting essential oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) genes. Two genes,
