Species and population genomic differentiation in Pocillopora corals (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) [PDF]
Genetica, 2022 Correctly delimiting species and populations is a prerequisite for studies of connectivity, adaptation and conservation. Genomic data are particularly useful to test species differentiation for organisms with few informative morphological characters or low discrimination of cytoplasmic markers, as in Scleractinians.

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

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.

Evolutionary Analysis of Cnidaria Small Cysteine-Rich Proteins (SCRiPs), an Enigmatic Neurotoxin Family from Stony Corals and Sea Anemones (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)Cnidarians (corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish) produce toxins that play central roles in key ecological processes, including predation, defense, and competition, being the oldest extant venomous animal lineage.

Shallow-water black corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) from SW Madagascar. [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2020 Antipatharians, also known as black corals, represent a small group of anthozoan hexacorallians found in all oceans of the world. They are generally considered a deep-water taxon; however, some of the most diverse communities are known from tropical ...

Fast-evolving mitochondrial DNA in Ceriantharia: a reflection of hexacorallia paraphyly?
PLoS ONE, 2014 The low evolutionary rate of mitochondrial genes in Anthozoa has challenged their utility for phylogenetic and systematic purposes, especially for DNA barcoding.
