Chrysogorgiidae (Octocorallia) collected during the Macrofauna I y II expeditions to the Colombian Caribbean. Four samples of octocorals in the family Chrysogorgiidae are described (Chrysogorgia desbonni, C. elegans and C.

Deep-water octocorals (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) from Brazil: Family Chrysogorgiidae Verrill, 1883
Current knowledge about the Brazilian deep-water octocoral fauna remains scarce, fragmented, and mostly based on unpublished, regional scale surveys. The present work provides the first comprehensive study of the family Chrysogorgidae Verrill, 1883 in Brazil, based on morphological analysis of specimens collected in the last decade and those currently ...

Exploration of the New England and Corner Rise Seamounts produced four new species of chrysogorgiid octocorals with the spiral iridogorgiid growth form. Three species are described as new in the genus Iridogorgia and one is described in the new genus Rhodaniridogorgia. Both genera have representatives in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The Behavioural and Genetic Mating System of the Sand Tiger Shark, Carcharias taurus, an Intrauterine Cannibal [PDF]
Sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) have an unusual mode of reproduction, whereby the first embryos in each of the paired uteri to reach a certain size (‘hatchlings’) consume all of their smaller siblings during gestation (‘embryonic cannibalism’ or EC)

New genera and species of the Holaxonian family Chrysogorgiidae (Octocorallia: Gorgonacea)
Two new genera and four new species of the gorgonacean family Chrysogorgiidae are described and illustrated, and keys to the genera and species are presented. The genus Stephanogorgia is established for a new shallow-water species, Stephanogorgia wainwrighti, from the Fiji Islands.

Phylogenetic measures reveal eco‐evolutionary drivers of biodiversity along a depth gradient
Energy and environmental stability are positively correlated with species richness along broad‐scale spatial gradients in terrestrial ecosystems, so their relative importance in generating and preserving diversity cannot be readily disentangled. This study seeks to exploit the negative correlation between energy and stability along the oceanic depth ...
