Linking host morphology and symbiont performance in octocorals [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractOctocorals represent an important group in reef communities throughout the tropical seas and, like scleractinian corals, they can be found in symbiosis with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium. However, while there is extensive research on this symbiosis and its benefits in scleractinians, research on octocorals has focused so far mainly on the ...

Grazers and predators mediate the post-settlement bottleneck in Caribbean octocoral forests
Frontiers in Marine ScienceIn the Caribbean, reef-building scleractinian corals have declined precipitously and octocorals have emerged as one of their main successors. The success of octocorals and the formation of octocoral forests has been attributed to their continuing ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Nitrogen is one of the limiting nutrients for coral growth and primary productivity. Therefore, the capacity of different associations between corals and their algal symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) to efficiently exploit the available nitrogen sources will ...

Partial quantification of pigments extracted from the zooxanthellate octocoral Sinularia flexibilis at varying irradiances [PDF]
, 2010 Chlorophyll-a (chl-a) and carotenoid pigments of the zooxanthellate octocoral Sinularia flexibilis were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography following exposure to three light intensities for over 30 days. From the coral fragments located

Norsesquiterpenoids from the octocoral Paralemnalia thyrsoides (Ehrenberg 1834)
RSC Advances, 2022 Three norsesquiterpenoids, pathyspirolactones A (1) and B (2), and napalilactone (3), featuring a γ-spirolactone moiety, were isolated from the cultured octocoral Paralemnalia thyrsoides.
