Multiscale flow between the branches and polyps of gorgonians.
J Exp Biol, 2023 ABSTRACT Gorgonians, including sea fans, are soft corals well known for their elaborate branching structure and how they sway in the ocean. This branching structure can modify environmental flows to be beneficial for feeding in a particular range of velocities and, presumably, for a particular size of prey.

Microketides A and B, Polyketides from a Gorgonian-Derived Microsphaeropsis sp. Fungus.
Journal of Natural Products, 2020 Microketides A and B (1 and 2), a pair of new C-11 epimeric polyketides, were obtained from the gorgonian-derived fungus Microsphaeropsis sp. RA10-14 collected from the South China Sea. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were assigned by the modified

Strandings of NE Atlantic gorgonians [PDF]
Biological Conservation, 2017 Abstract Northeast coral gardens provide vital breeding and feeding habitats for fishes of conservation and commercial importance. Such habitats are increasingly at risk of destruction as a result of over fishing, ocean warming, acidification and marine litter.

New alkaloids and isocoumarins from the marine gorgonian-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SCSIO 41501
Natural Product Research, 2020 Two new β-carboline alkaloids, aspergillspins A-B (1–2), three new quinolone alkaloids, aspergillspins C-E (3–5), and two new isocoumarins, aspergillspins F-G (6–7), together with four known alkaloids were isolated from the marine gorgonian-derived ...

Caribbean gorgonian octocorals cope with nutrient enrichment.
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019 Corals inhabit oligotrophic waters, thriving amidst limited nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous. When nutrient levels increase, usually due to human activity, the symbiosis of dinoflagellates (family Symbiodiniaceae) with scleractinian corals can break down.

The importance of coastal gorgonians in the blue carbon budget [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractTerrestrial (trees, shrubs) and marine (seaweeds and seagrasses) organisms act as carbon (C) sinks, but the role of benthic suspension feeders in this regard has been largely neglected so far. Gorgonians are one of the most conspicuous inhabitants of marine animal forests (mainly composed of sessile filter feeders); their seston capture rates ...

Leptogorgins A–C, Humulane Sesquiterpenoids from the Vietnamese Gorgonian Leptogorgia sp.
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.

Mesophotic Gorgonian Corals Evolved Multiple Times and Faster Than Deep and Shallow Lineages
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 ...
