Mesophotic Gorgonian Corals Evolved Multiple Times and Faster Than Deep and Shallow Lineages [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs) develop on a unique environment, where abrupt environmental changes take place. Using a time-calibrated molecular phylogeny (mtDNA: mtMutS), we examined the lineage membership of mesophotic gorgonian corals ...

Low clonal propagation in Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of the red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata (Octocorallia) [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2017 Clonal propagation is a common feature of benthic marine organisms. In the present study, we investigated the contribution of clonal reproduction in the red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata. Mediterranean populations of P.

Leptogorgins A–C, Humulane Sesquiterpenoids from the Vietnamese Gorgonian Leptogorgia sp. [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2020 Leptogorgins A–C (1–3), new humulane sesquiterpenoids, and leptogorgoid A (4), a new dihydroxyketosteroid, were isolated from the gorgonian Leptogorgia sp. collected from the South China Sea. The structures were established using MS and NMR data.

Efficacy of the 28S rDNA barcode in differentiating Caribbean octocorals [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe ecological landscape of Caribbean reefs is rapidly changing as octocorals fill the void left by declining scleractinian populations. Effective molecular barcodes are necessary to accurately identify these octocorals and monitor this shifting ...

Microbial Regulation in Gorgonian Corals [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2012 Gorgonian corals possess many novel natural products that could potentially mediate coral-bacterial interactions. Since many bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) signals to facilitate colonization of host organisms, regulation of prokaryotic cell-to-cell ...

Positive Interactions Under Ocean Warming and Acidification: Crustose Coralline Algae Holobionts Enhance Gorgonian Larval Settlement Under Climate Change. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolCrustose coralline algae (CCA) are key for the settlement of the larvae of the Mediterranean white gorgonian, Eunicella singularis, especially after treatment under future climate change conditions. CCA also influence larval microbiome development. (A) Enhanced larval settlement is driven by bacterial breakdown and utilisation of CCA polysaccharides ...
