Mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses of Leptogorgia virgulata and Leptogorgia hebes (Anthozoa: Octocorallia) from the Gulf of Mexico provides insight on Gorgoniidae divergence between Pacific and Atlantic lineages

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
The use of genetics in recent years has brought to light the need to reevaluate the classification of many gorgonian octocorals. This study focuses on two Leptogorgia species—Leptogorgia virgulata and Leptogorgia hebes—from the northwestern Gulf of ...

Two new species of Antarctic gorgonians (Octocorallia: Primnoidae) with a redescription of Thouarella laxa Versluys, 1906 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Two new species of the genus Thouarella from Antarctic waters are described and illustrated from material collected on the Polarstern cruises ANT XVII/3 (EASIZ III), ANT XIX/5 (LAMPOS) and ANT XXI/2 (BENDEX).

Mechanistic Characterisation of Bacterial Terpene Synthases from Chitinophagaceae Producing Marine‐Type Diterpenes

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 52, December 22, 2025.
Six bacterial terpene synthases are reported, one of which produces instable chitinosphaerol, which is spontaneously transformed into several known natural products requiring structural revision. A second enzyme yields thermally labile neodolabella‐1(14),2,7‐triene, which upon heating shows sequential conversion into thermocyclenes A–C.

New Cembranoid Diterpenes from the Cultured Octocoral Nephthea columnaris

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
Two new 15-hydroxycembranoid diterpenes, 2β-hydroxy-7β,8α-epoxynephthenol (1) and 2β-hydroxy-11α,12β-epoxynephthenol (2), were isolated from extracts of the octocoral Nephthea columnaris along with a new natural cembrane, epoxynephthenol (3) and a known ...

Artificial Structures as Shark Egg‐Laying Substrate in a Previously Fished Mediterranean Demersal No‐Take MPA

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The location of shark egg nursery areas in the Mediterranean Sea is not well known. Moreover, decades of trawling have depleted flat muddy bottoms of both organic (sessile colonial organisms) and inorganic (rocks) three‐dimensional structures in the western Mediterranean Sea.

Cladielloides A and B: New Eunicellin-Type Diterpenoids from an Indonesian Octocoral Cladiella sp.

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2010
Two new eunicellin-type diterpenoids, cladielloides A (1) and B (2), which were found to possess a 2-hydroxybutyroxy group in their structures, were isolated from an Indonesian octocoral identified as Cladiella sp.

Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1311-1328, November 2025.
Abstract Phanerozoic patch reefs are extensively studied because they are abundant and are potential reservoirs for valuable fluids. In contrast, geologic studies of modern reefs have largely focused on platform margins, leaving patch reefs comparatively neglected. What conditions favour patch‐reef development?

Adaptive Potential of Intracolonial Genetic Variability in Coral Populations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Intracolonial genetic variability (IGV) is key to coral reef resilience but remains underexplored in current coral research. This review compares corals with well‐studied clonal systems like seagrass meadows, discusses methods to detect IGV and estimate the number of potential new genotypes, and advocates incorporating these clonal concepts into coral ...

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...
