Contrasting Reproductive and Early Life-History Strategies in Recently Diverged Octocoral Species (<i>Paramuricea</i> spp.). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe two color morphs of the Iberian–Atlantic Paramuricea complex show little genetic divergence, and their species boundaries have remained unclear. By analyzing gametogenesis, spawning timing, fertilization environment, and early life‐history traits, we reveal strong prezygotic barriers and divergent developmental and dispersal strategies between the ...

Excavatoids O and P, New 12-Hydroxybriaranes from the Octocoral Briareum excavatum
Marine Drugs, 2010 Two new 12-hydroxybriarane diterpenoids, designated as excavatoids O (1) and P (2), were isolated from the octocoral Briareum excavatum. The structures of briaranes 1 and 2 were established on the basis of extensive spectral data analysis.

Spatial and Short-Term Temporal Patterns of Octocoral Assemblages in the West Philippine Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Octocorals are relatively understudied than other coral reef organisms despite their ecological and economic values. The Philippines is known to have high marine biodiversity, but information on octocorals is lacking.

The Brazilian octocoral Phyllogorgia dilatata as a source of cytotoxic compounds
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 The extensive marine biodiversity has proved to be a promising source of substances with biomedical potential. In this study, the cytotoxicity of the Brazilian octocoral Phyllogorgia dilatata (Gorgoniidae) was evaluated against two tumor cell lines and ...
