Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3309-3321, November 2025.Abstract Light and temperature are driving forces that shape the evolution and physiology of mesophotic organisms. On the Mississippi‐Alabama continental shelf, octocorals dominate the mesophotic seascape and provide habitat for many fish and invertebrate species.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Coral species abundance and biodiversity estimates are typically based on colony macromorphology. However, such measurements often underestimate the true diversity within coral communities because morphology does not necessarily reflect behavioral or genetic divergence. We previously reported on the unusual spawning behavior of the brain coral

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.Although tools for actively restoring marine habitats have advanced considerably, the capacity and timeframes for ecosystem recovery remain uncertain. Time and funding constraints, and lacking metrics to quantify the recovery process, represent the primary obstacles to evaluating restoration success.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 43, October 20, 2025.The bacterial diterpene synthase CjCS for chryseojoostenes was mechanistically characterised through labelling experiments, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and conversion of substrate analogs with blocked reactivity. Site‐directed mutagenesis gave access to minor enzyme products, including chryseojoostene E, whose biosynthesis involves a ...

Bicyclic lactones from the octocoral Dendronephthya mucronata
Natural Product Research, 2019 The MeOH extract of the Vietnamese octocoral Dendronephthya mucronata afforded four bicyclic lactones (1–4), including three new compounds namely dendronephthyones A–C (1–3), after subjecting it on various chromatographic separations. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by spectroscopic experiments including 1D, 2D NMR, CD and HR ...

Diversity, 2019 Shallow water coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems, but there is an immense gap in knowledge when it comes to understanding the diversity of the vast majority of marine biota in these ecosystems.

Visual information in the dark: Bioluminescence and perceptual design through evolution
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2611-2625, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bioluminescence offers a powerful framework for understanding how organisms evolve to shape visual information in diverse ways. Complementing studies of colour, transparency and pattern in illuminated environments, bioluminescent systems instead rely on generated light,

Scientia Marina, 2015 Species composition and abundance of octocoral assemblages were investigated in the Sea of Marmara, which forms the connection between the Mediterranean and the Black Seas, two semi-enclosed seas with peculiar oceanographic conditions. Fourteen octocoral
