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

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The 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 seawater warming and further exacerbated by pathogenic microbes.

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 ...

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef‐Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Dichocoenia stokesii, Diploria labyrinthiformis, Oculina patagonica, and Stephanocoenia intersepta [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

Associations between fishes (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) and anthozoans (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) in epipelagic waters based on in situ records [PDF]

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 2166-2172, December 2025.
Abstract We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp.

A hybrid-capture approach to reconstruct the phylogeny of Scleractinia (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia).

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2023
A well-supported evolutionary tree representing most major lineages of scleractinian corals is in sight with the development and application of phylogenomic approaches.

Systematics of the Hexacorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) [PDF]

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003
The composition of and relationships among higher-level groups within the anthozoan subclass Hexacorallia ( = Zoantharia) has been controversial because independent analyses of anatomy, life history, ultrastructure, and molecular sequences have failed to provide a consistent framework for drawing taxonomic boundaries or under- standing phylogenetic ...

Molecular cytogenetic study on the scleractinian coral Micromussaamakusensis (Veron, 1990) (Hexacorallia, Anthozoa, Cnidaria): isolation of five fluorescence in situ hybridization markers [PDF]

Comp Cytogenet
Abstract Scleractinian (stony) corals are foundational to reef ecosystems, yet their taxonomy remains unresolved due to morphological plasticity and limited cytogenetic data.
