Species and population genomic differentiation in Pocillopora corals (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) [PDF]
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.

Shallow-water black corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) from SW Madagascar
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 shallow waters.

Description of a new species of black coral in the family Aphanipathidae (Anthozoa, Antipatharia) from Puerto Rico [PDF]
Black corals (Anthozoa: Antipatharia) are an anthozoan lineage in the class Hexacorallia that occur across a wide range of habitats from the tropics to the poles and from surface waters to depths deeper than 8000 m.

Dimethlysulfoniopropionate (DMSP) lyase is an enzyme that mediates cleavage of DMSP into dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and acrylate. DMS is an aerosol substance that may affect cloud formation, solar radiation and ocean temperatures.

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°).

Diversity of Feeding in Anthozoa (Cnidaria): A Systematic Review
In this study, we performed a bibliographical review examining the scientific literature on “feeding in Anthozoa” for the period from 1890 to 2019, using the scientific database Google Scholar, supplemented with additional literature.

On the paradox of thriving cold‐water coral reefs in the food‐limited deep sea
ABSTRACT The deep sea is amongst the most food‐limited habitats on Earth, as only a small fraction (<4%) of the surface primary production is exported below 200 m water depth. Here, cold‐water coral (CWC) reefs form oases of life: their biodiversity compares with tropical coral reefs, their biomass and metabolic activity exceed other deep‐sea ...
