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

Mitochondrial genome comparison reveals the evolution of cnidarians [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
First of all, we used mt‐genomes as many as possible published before to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Secondly, more recent studies based on mitochondrial whole‐genome sequences have suggested that Anthozoa are polyphyletic, with the subclasses Octocorallia being a sister group with Medusozoa.

Unveiling the early evolution of black corals [PDF]

Communications Biology
Black corals, primarily deep-sea cnidarians (Anthozoa: Antipatharia), are inferred to have originated either in the Ediacaran or Cambrian based on molecular clock estimates.

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 ...

Candidate stem cell isolation and transplantation in Hexacorallia

, 2022
Abstract Stem cells are the base for cell therapy due to their ability to self-renew, differentiate into other cell types, and live throughout the life of an organism. The initial cell therapy was bone marrow transplantation; bone marrow that contains haematopoietic stem cells is transferred from a healthy donor into a sick recipient to ...

A Network Approach to White Band Disease Challenged Staghorn Coral Acropora cervicornis microRNAs and Their Targets [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our study looks at the association between microRNA expression and disease resistance in Caribbean staghorn corals infected with White Band Disease. We find three microRNAs differentially expressed due to disease resistance with putative targets involved in innate immunity.

Skimming genomes for systematics and DNA barcodes of corals [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
Bioinformatically pulling UCEs, exons, mitochondrial genomes, and nuclear rRNA genes from genome skimming is a viable and low‐cost option for phylogenetic studies. The mean number of UCE and exon loci extracted from the genome skimming data was 1837 ± 662 SD for octocorals and 1379 ± 476 loci for hexacorals; phylogenetic relationships were well ...

Fatty Acids in Cnidaria: Distribution and Specific Functions [PDF]

Marine Drugs
The phylum Cnidaria comprises five main classes—Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Hexacorallia, Octocorallia and Cubozoa—that include such widely distributed and well-known animals as hard and soft corals, sea anemones, sea pens, gorgonians, hydroids, and jellyfish ...

First record of Zoanthus gigantus Reimer & Tsukahara, 2006 (Anthozoa, Hexacorallia) from Indian waters, South Asia [PDF]

Check List, 2017
Zoanthus gigantus, family Zoanthidae, is reported for the first time from south Asia. The earlier distribution of the species has been known only from Japan, China, and Taiwan waters. Colonies of Z.
