Transplantation Experiments with Mediterranean Gorgonians [PDF]
Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1979 Branches of gorgonians belonging to four different Mediterranean species (Eunicella singularis (Esper), Paramuricea clavata (Risso), Corallium rubrum (Linnaeus) and Lophogorgia ceratophyta (Linnaeus)) were transplanted to different habitats by means of three different methods, and survival and growth rates were observed over periods ranging from three ...

Briarane Diterpenes from Micronesian Gorgonians
HETEROCYCLES, 1996 Four new briaranes, nui-inoalides A-D, (6-9) are described. They were isolated from octocorals collected in Pohnpei and Ant atoll, Micronesia. The absolute stereochemistry of the known briarane juncin E (5) was determined. Nui-inoalide A (6) and the known gemmacolides A, B, and D (2-4) exhibit immunomodulatory activity.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Black corals are important habitat-forming species in the mesophotic and deep-sea zones of the world’s oceans because of their arborescent colony structure and tendency to form animal forests. Although we have started unraveling the ecology of mesophotic

Lipid content and composition of oocytes from five coral species: potential implications for future cryopreservation efforts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Given the previously documented importance of lipid concentration and composition in the successful cryopreservation of gorgonian corals, these parameters were assessed in oocytes of five species of scleractinian coral; Platygyra daedalea, Echinopora ...

Structuring effects of chemicals from the sea fan Phyllogorgia dilatata on benthic communities [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Despite advances in understanding the ecological functions of secondary metabolites from marine organisms, there has been little focus on the influence of chemically-defended species at the community level.

Briareolate Esters from the Gorgonian Briareum asbestinum [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2012 Two new briarane diterpenoids briareolate esters J (1) and K (2) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the octocoral Briareum asbestinum collected off the coast of Boca Raton, Florida. The structures of briaranes 1 and 2 were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data.

Rumphellaoic Acid A, a Novel Sesquiterpenoid from the Formosan Gorgonian Coral Rumphella antipathies
Marine Drugs, 2014 A novel sesquiterpenoid, rumphellaoic acid A (1), was isolated from the gorgonian coral Rumphella antipathies, and was found to possess a carbon skeleton that was obtained for the first time from a natural sources.

Islands in the mud: The South Texas banks provide crucial mesophotic habitat for coral communities
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 On the continental shelf off the coast of South Texas lie a series of natural hard-bottom structures (rocky outcrops and relic coral-algal reefs) known as the South Texas Banks (STB), which provide critical habitat for benthic organisms and pelagic fish.

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]
, 2011 In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...
