Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) from Brazilian reefs
Journal of Natural History, 2010 Brazilian reef octocorals have been relatively poorly studied. The last major review was published in the early 1960s by F.M. Bayer. The current study includes a full historical and literature review of Brazilian reef octocorals and lists 17 species.

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.This study uses modeling techniques to predict the characteristics of deep‐water coral communities under climate scenarios. It reveals that climate change will drive shifts of many deep‐water corals to deeper waters, leading to major changes in biodiversity and ecosystem functions of deep‐water coral communities.

Characteristics of Carbonates of Gorgonian Axes (Coelenterata, Octocorallia)
The Biological Bulletin, 1992 Axial skeletons of 13 species of gorgonians were examined by SEM, X-ray diffraction, and polarizing microscopy. Calcite, though occasionally amorphous is the major biogenic carbonate of axes. Non-biogenic mineralization may be calcitic, amorphous, or aragonitic.

A case of modular phenotypic plasticity in the depth gradient for the gorgonian coral Antillogorgia bipinnata (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Phenotypic plasticity, as a phenotypic response induced by the environment, has been proposed as a key factor in the evolutionary history of corals. A significant number of octocoral species show high phenotypic variation, exhibiting a strong
