Larval dispersal simulations and connectivity predictions for Mediterranean gorgonian species: sensitivity to flow representation and biological traits

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2022
Larval dispersal enables demographic and genetic connectivity among marine populations. For many sessile species, it is the only natural mechanism for resilience after major population disturbances, as those that have been affecting Mediterranean ...

Population collapse of habitat-forming species in the Mediterranean: a long-term study of gorgonian populations affected by recurrent marine heatwaves

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
Understanding the resilience of temperate reefs to climate change requires exploring the recovery capacity of their habitat-forming species from recurrent marine heatwaves (MHWs).

Biochemical warfare on the reef: the role of glutathione transferases in consumer tolerance of dietary prostaglandins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Despite the profound variation among marine consumers in tolerance for allelochemically-rich foods, few studies have examined the biochemical adaptations underlying diet choice. Here we examine the role of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in

Cryopreservation of the gorgonian endosymbiont Symbiodinium [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractThe study focused on finding a suitable cryoprotectant (CPA) and an optimum freezing protocol for the cryopreservation of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium, clade G) of Junceella fragilis wherein the success of experiments is crucial to both scientific and ecology studies. A two-step freezing technique was developed. The viability

Symbiodinium photosynthesis in Caribbean octocorals. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Symbioses with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium form the foundation of tropical coral reef communities. Symbiodinium photosynthesis fuels the growth of an array of marine invertebrates, including cnidarians such as scleractinian corals and octocorals (e.g.

Microbiomes of Caribbean Octocorals Vary Over Time but Are Resistant to Environmental Change

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The bacterial microbiome is an essential component of many corals, although knowledge of the microbiomes in scleractinian corals far exceeds that for octocorals.

Development of Cryopreservation Techniques for Gorgonian (Junceella juncea) Oocytes through Vitrification. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Gorgonian corals are slowly declining due to human interaction and environmental impacts. Cryopreservation of gorgonian corals is an ex-situ method of conservation, ensuring future reproduction.

The Brazilian octocoral Phyllogorgia dilatata as a source of cytotoxic compounds

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The extensive marine biodiversity has proved to be a promising source of substances with biomedical potential. In this study, the cytotoxicity of the Brazilian octocoral Phyllogorgia dilatata (Gorgoniidae) was evaluated against two tumor cell lines and ...
