Octocoral dynamics over a decade on Florida’s coral reef [PDF]

Scientific Reports
In recent decades, studies have documented increased octocoral cover and density on western Atlantic reefs, suggesting their potential to thrive in areas once dominated by scleractinians.

The hidden diversity of Saudi Arabian Red Sea octocorals revealed through a morpho-molecular assessment across bathymetric and latitudinal gradients [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Octocorals, a globally distributed class of Cnidaria, inhabit a wide range of environments, from cold to tropical waters and from shallow to deep-sea ecosystems. In the Red Sea, studies on octocoral diversity have mostly been focused on the Gulf of Aqaba

The Draft Genome of an Octocoral, Dendronephthya gigantea [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Coral reefs composed of stony corals are threatened by global marine environmental changes. However, soft coral communities of octocorallian species, appear more resilient.

Mapping octocoral (Anthozoa: Octocorallia) research in Asia, with particular reference to the Indian subcontinent: trends, challenges, and opportunities

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019
Octocorallia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) comprising over 3,600 nominal species within three orders, Alcyonacea, Helioporacea and Pennatulacea, is one of the most poorly known groups of marine invertebrates.

Terpenoids from Octocorals of the Genus Pachyclavularia [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2017
In this paper, we reviewed natural compounds isolated from octocorals belonging to the genus Pachyclavularia, including 20 cembrane-, 39 briarane-, and eight briarellin-related diterpenoids, and one secosterol.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Integrative Taxonomy Discovers Two New Species of Digitate Soft Corals in the Urban Waters of China's Greater Bay Area

Ecology and Evolution
Digitate or lobate scleralcyonacean soft corals are common in tropical reef ecosystems, yet their morphological plasticity and insufficient genetic information hinder our understanding of their diversity. In the China Seas, only four such species, all in

Octocorals in the Galapagos Islands [PDF]

, 2009
The Galapagos octocorals were almost unknown until recent years. Of the three orders within the subclass Octocorallia (Anthozoa, Cnidaria), the Pennatulacea (sea pens) and Alcyonacea (soft corals and gorgonians) occur in the Galapagos. Recent collections

Terpenoids from the Octocoral Sinularia gaweli [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015
Two eudesmane sesquiterpenoids, verticillatol (1) and 5α-acetoxy-4(14)-eudesmene-1β-ol (2) and two cembrane diterpenoids, (–)-leptodiol acetate (3) and sinulacembranolide A (4) were isolated from the octocoral Sinularia gaweli and compounds 2–4 are new isolates.
