Aspergillus sydowii and other potential fungal pathogens in Gorgonian Octocorals of the Ecuadorian Pacific [PDF]
Emerging fungal diseases are threatening ecosystems and have increased in recent decades. In corals, the prevalence and consequences of these infections have also increased in frequency and severity. Coral reefs are affected by an emerging fungal disease

Fuzzy species limits in Mediterranean gorgonians (Cnidaria, Octocorallia): inferences on speciation processes [PDF]
The study of the interplay between speciation and hybridization is of primary importance in evolutionary biology. Octocorals are ecologically important species whose shallow phylogenetic relationships often remain to be studied. In the Mediterranean Sea,

When resilience is not enough: 2022 extreme marine heatwave threatens climatic refugia for a habitat-forming Mediterranean octocoral. [PDF]
We are convinced that this paper can contribute to a better comprehension of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. We describe how Marine Heat Waves, which have been increasing in frequency, extent and intensity during the last decades, can negatively affect habitat‐forming species over time. Abstract Climate change is impacting ecosystems
