Complete mitochondrial genome of Callogorgia cf. gracilis (Octocorallia: Calcaxonia: Primnoidae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 We report the first complete mitochondrial genome of Callogorgia. Callogorgia cf. gracilis isolate DFH32_518B was collected by a remotely operated vehicle at 98 m on McGrail Bank (27.9840725°N, 92.604242°W). The complete mitogenome is 18,937 bp (27.8% A,

Phylogenetic and phylogeographic assessment of the temperate octocoral Eunicella verrucosa [PDF]
, 2020 The three-dimensional structure of gorgonian octocoral, like Eunicella, can provide vital habitat for other marine organisms and are thus considered ecosystem engineers.

Mesophotic gorgonian corals evolve multiple times and faster than deep and shallow lineages
bioRxiv, 2020 Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs) develop on a unique environment, where abrupt environmental changes take place. Using a time-calibrated molecular phylogeny (mtDNA: mtMutS), we examined the lineage membership of mesophotic gorgonian corals ...

A dramatic northward range expansion of a Red Sea soft coral in the Mediterranean Sea
Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract Historically isolated from tropical influences, the Mediterranean Sea underwent drastic changes, including the Lessepsian migration facilitated by the opening of the Suez Canal, connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. Here, we report on the discovery of a thriving and lush population of an Indo‐Pacific soft coral in the transforming ...

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 ...

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.
