Heat Stress Drives Rapid Viral and Antiviral Innate Immunity Activation in Hexacorallia. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
The cnidarian class Hexacorallia, encompassing stony corals and sea anemones, plays a critical role in marine ecosystems. Coral bleaching, the disruption of the symbiosis between stony corals and zooxanthellate algae, is driven by climate change-induced ...

Genome sizes and repeatome evolution in zoantharians (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Zoantharia) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Across eukaryotes, large variations of genome sizes have been observed even between closely related species. Transposable elements as part of the repeated DNA have been proposed and confirmed as one of the most important contributors to genome size ...

Scleractinian coral (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia, Scleractinia) diversity of the Mersing Islands, Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2022
We present a comprehensive checklist of scleractinian (hard) corals for the Mersing Islands, Malaysia based on surveys conducted at 24 reefs across protected and unprotected marine areas. A total of 261 species of corals from 16 families and one incertae

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two species of Stichopathes Brook, 1889 (Hexacorallia: Antipatharia: Antipathidae) from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
We report the complete mitochondrial genomes of two antipatharian species, Stichopathes sp. SCBUCN-8849 and Stichopathes sp. SCBUCN-8850, collected between 120 and 180 m depth off Rapa Nui (∼ −27.1°, −109.4°).

The Mitogenomic Landscape of Hexacorallia Corals: Insight into Their Slow Evolution. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
The utility of the mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) in analyzing the evolutionary history of animals has been proven. Five deep-sea corals (Bathypathes sp.1, Bathypathes sp.2, Schizopathidae 1, Trissopathes sp., and Leiopathes sp.) were collected in ...

A comparative genomics study of neuropeptide genes in the cnidarian subclasses Hexacorallia and Ceriantharia [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Nervous systems originated before the split of Proto- and Deuterostomia, more than 600 million years ago. Four animal phyla (Cnidaria, Placozoa, Ctenophora, Porifera) diverged before this split and studying these phyla could give us important ...

Nematostella vectensis exemplifies the exceptional expansion and diversity of opsins in the eyeless Hexacorallia [PDF]

EvoDevo, 2023
Background Opsins are the primary proteins responsible for light detection in animals. Cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, corals) have diverse visual systems that have evolved in parallel with bilaterians (squid, flies, fish) for hundreds of millions ...

Complete mitochondrial genomes of the black corals Alternatipathes mirabilis Opresko & Molodtsova, 2021 and Parantipathes larix (Esper, 1788) (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Hexacorallia, Antipatharia, Schizopathidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys
We describe the complete mitogenomes of the black corals Alternatipathes mirabilis Opresko & Molodtsova, 2021 and Parantipathes larix (Esper, 1790) (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Hexacorallia, Antipatharia, Schizopathidae).

Glow in the D-ARK: a new bioluminescent species of Corallizoanthus (Anthozoa: Zoantharia: Parazoanthidae) from southern Japan [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Bioluminescence is a common phenomenon found in many marine environments and has evolved independently dozens of times across the Tree of Life. In Anthozoa, a single origin of bioluminescence in Octocorallia has been proposed, while the evolution of ...
