Morphology and Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis of Deep-Sea Purple Gorgonians (Octocorallia: Victorgorgiidae) from Seamounts in the Tropical Western Pacific, with Description of Three New Species

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Members of Scleraxonia Studer, 1887 are one of the most dominant megafaunal taxa on seamounts, but their diversity and spatial distribution are poorly known in the tropical Western Pacific.

Functional Analysis of Ligand‐Gated Chloride Channels in a Cnidarian Sheds Light on the Evolution of Inhibitory Signaling

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand‐gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolutionary history of inhibitory LGICs with diverse neurotransmitter ligands.

PHLPP is neither a Phosphatase nor a Tumor Suppressor

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 7, July 2026.
PH domain leucine‐rich repeat protein phosphatases (PHLPP) have been described as Akt phosphatases and tumor suppressors for more than 20 years. Recent evidence, however, indicates that they are pseudophosphatases that lost catalytic activity more than 450 Mya. This article argues that new hypotheses are urgently needed to reorient the field.

Weak Structure and Environment‐Associated Loci Across a Eutrophication Gradient in a Resilient Coral Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Marine species often have large effective population sizes and high connectivity that reduce drift and preserve diversity, but how these features shape adaptation to anthropogenic change remains unclear; Oulastrea crispata, a stress‐tolerant Indo‐Pacific coral, is an ideal test case along a strong eutrophication gradient. Using RADseq on 90 individuals

A guideline to nematocyst nomenclature and classification, and some notes on the systematic value of nematocysts

Scientia Marina, 2000
Cnidocyst nomenclature is based on the structure of the tubule and its armature as viewed in the light microscopy (LM). Investigations utilising optically improved LM and scanning electron microscopy have revealed some errors in the interpretation of the

Complete mitochondrial genome of Carijoa riisei (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1860) (Octocorallia: Alcyonacea: Stolonifera: Clavulariidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We report the first complete Stolonifera mitochondrial genome. Carijoa riisei (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1860) isolate CLP2_A03 was collected by scuba at 32 m on the USTS Texas Clipper (27° 53.7827′N, 93° 36.2702′W).

Neuropeptides in the Cnidaria [PDF]

American Zoologist, 1989
This chapter reviews experimental evidence for peptides acting as transmitters or morphogens in the Cnidaria. A wide range of brain/gut peptides have been localized immunohistochemically to specific neuronal populations in Hydra . These include gastrin/CCK, substance P, neurotensin, bombesin, oxytocin/vasopressin and FMRFamide.
