Heat stress increases immune cell function in Hexacorallia [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Climate change induced heat stress has increased coral bleaching events worldwide. Differentially regulated immune genes are one of the primary responses to heat stress suggesting that immune activation is critical.

Two new species of Neozoanthus (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia, Zoantharia) from the Pacific [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2012
The zoanthid genus Neozoanthus was originally described in 1972 from a single species in Madagascar. This monotypic genus was placed within its own family, Neozoanthidae, given its unusual characters of only partial sand encrustation, and an endodermal ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial Genome of Savalia savaglia (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) and Early Metazoan Phylogeny [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2007
Mitochondrial genomes have recently become widely used in animal phylogeny, mainly to infer the relationships between vertebrates and other bilaterians. However, only 11 of 723 complete mitochondrial genomes available in the public databases are of early metazoans, including cnidarians (Anthozoa, mainly Scleractinia) and sponges.

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 ...

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

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
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 the South China Sea (SCS).

Phylogeny of the order Zoantharia (Anthozoa, Hexacorallia) based on the mitochondrial ribosomal genes [PDF]

Marine Biology, 2005
Zoantharia (or Zoanthidea) is the third largest order of Hexacorallia, characterised by two rows of tentacles, one siphonoglyph and a colonial way of life. Current systematics of Zoantharia is based exclusively on morphology and follows the traditional division of the group into the two suborders Brachycnemina and Macrocnemina, each comprising several ...
