Ochracenoids A and B, Guaiazulene-Based Analogues from Gorgonian Anthogorgia ochracea Collected from the South China Sea

Marine Drugs, 2014
Two new guaiazulene-based analogues, ochracenoids A (1) and B (2), along with four known analogues (3–6), were isolated from the gorgonian Anthogorgia ochracea collected from the South China Sea. The planar structures of the new compounds were elucidated

As above, so below: A perspective into the application of land‐forest monitoring methods for the assessment of marine animal forests

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1124-1142, April 2026.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

New Anti-Inflammatory 9,11-Secosterols with a Rare Tricyclo[5,2,1,1]decane Ring from a Formosan Gorgonian Pinnigorgia sp.

Marine Drugs, 2016
Pinnigorgiols D (1) and E (2), two new 9,11-secosterols with a rearranged carbon skeleton, were isolated from a Taiwan gorgonian Pinnigorgia sp. The structures of these two compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods and were proven ...

Rapid Decreases and Performance Declines in Northeast Pacific Seamount Foundation Species Detected in an Oxygen Minimum Zone

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Across 12 long‐term monitoring sites on three Northeast Pacific seamounts, 163 of 844 cold‐water coral and sponge individuals were lost between surveys 3–5 years apart, with abundance declining at five sites and condition (i.e., health) declining at nine.

Bulk and amino acid isotope evidence of supplementary food sources besides euphotic production for a deep-sea coral community in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Deep-sea coral communities, rich in various zoobenthos, have been discovered in the South China Sea (SCS) in recent years. Yet little is known about the trophic structure of these communities.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
COVER PHOTO: Red gorgonians (Paramuricea clavata) and black corals (Antipathella subpinnata) form dense animal forests on mesophotic reefs (40–100 m) of the Aegean Sea. The diversity and distinctiveness of fish communities found in these mesophotic animal forests were investigated through visual census and collection of cryptic species by rebreather ...
