CHRYSOGORGIIDAE (OCTOCORALLIA) RECOLECTADOS DURANTE LAS EXPEDICIONES MACROFAUNA I Y II EN EL CARIBE COLOMBIANO

open access: diamondBulletin of Marine and Coastal Research, 2016
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

open access: greenZootaxa, 2015
Current knowledge about the Brazilian deep-water octocoral fauna remains scarce, fragmented, and mostly based on unpublished, regional scale surveys.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 ...

A review of the genus Iridogorgia (Octocorallia: Chrysogorgiidae) and its relatives, chiefly from the North Atlantic Ocean

open access: closedJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2007
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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)

open access: green, 1976
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

open access: yesEcography, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 689-702, May 2020., 2020
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 ...
