Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.This study explores the phylogeny and mitochondrial genomics of Ovulidae, a family of marine gastropods related to Cypraeidae, by analyzing mitochondrial genomes from 14 of 15 species collected off China's coast. Key findings include the reclassification of genera Naviculavolva and Contrasimnia to the subfamily Prionovolvinae, evidence against the ...

Overgrowth of Caribbean octocorals by milleporid hydrocorals
Invertebrate Biology, 2017 AbstractOn Caribbean reefs, colonies of the hydrocoral Millepora alcicornis are capable of pursuing and overgrowing arborescent octocorals (Wahle ). Nearly four decades since these interactions were described, we quantified arborescent octocorals encrusted by Millepora spp. (Linnaeus 1758) on shallow reefs in St. John, U.S.

Symbiosis, hybridization, and speciation in Mediterranean octocorals (Octocorallia, Eunicellidae) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean SocietyAbstract Understanding how species can form and remain isolated in the marine environment still stimulates active research. Here we study the differentiation and the possibility of hybridization among three temperate octocorals: Eunicella cavolini, Eunicella singularis, and Eunicella verrucosa.
