Speciation, evolution and phylogeny of some shallow-water octocorals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) [PDF]
, 2016 Shallow-water octocorals are among the most abundant macro-benthic organisms inhabiting tropical subtropical and temperate communities. In spite of being worldwide distributed and highly diverse, the systematics of many octocorals remains controversial ...

Mitochondrial DNA damage, repair and copy number dynamics of Sclerophytum sp. (Anthozoa: Octocorallia) in response to short-term abiotic oxidative stress [PDF]
As a consequence of global climate change, the increasing frequency of environmental disturbances and surplus oxidative stress experienced by coral reefs will likely contribute to phase shifts from stony to soft corals. Mitochondrial response to reactive

Octocoral biodiversity in Portugal: a barcoding approach coupling long-range PCR and long-read sequencing to assemble mitochondrial genomes [PDF]
, 2022 As florestas de corais de zonas mais profundas ou de águas temperadas são caracterizadas por comunidades de elevada diversidade comummente denominadas por “florestas animais” pois são dominadas por espécies filtradoras não fotossintéticas que formam ...

Evolution of mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in Pennatulacea [PDF]
, 2023 We examine the phylogeny of sea pens using sequences of whole mitochondrial genomes and the nuclear ribosomal cluster generated through low coverage Illumina sequencing. Taxon sampling includes 30 species in 19 genera representing 13 families.

A Phylogenetic Analysis of Leptogorgia virgulata and Leptogorgia hebes in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
, 2018 The use of genetics in recent years has brought to light the need to reevaluate the classification of many gorgonian octocorals. In 2017, Poliseno et al.

Integrated evidence reveals a new species in the ancient blue coral genus Heliopora (Octocorallia) [PDF]
, 2018 Maintaining the accretion potential and three dimensional structure of coral reefs is a priority but reef-building scleractinian corals are highly threatened and retreating.

Primnoidae (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) of the SW Indian Ocean: new species, genus revisions and systematics [PDF]
, 2017 The Indian Ocean is one of the least-studied areas of the world’s largest biome, the deep sea. On an expedition to five seamounts along the SW Indian Ocean Ridge in 2011, thousands of specimens from deep-sea habitats were procured.
