Evolution and maintenance of mtDNA gene content across eukaryotes [PDF]
Across eukaryotes, most genes required for mitochondrial function have been transferred to, or otherwise acquired by, the nucleus. Encoding genes in the nucleus has many advantages. So why do mitochondria retain any genes at all?

Growth in cold-water octocorals: rates, morphology and environmental controls [PDF]
, 2016 Deep-water corals can have high longevities and slow growth rates. While most studies have been focusing on growth rates of gorgonians, few studies have examined rates and patterns in other octocorals, such as sea pens.
