A Network Approach to White Band Disease Challenged Staghorn Coral Acropora cervicornis microRNAs and Their Targets

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our study looks at the association between microRNA expression and disease resistance in Caribbean staghorn corals infected with White Band Disease. We find three microRNAs differentially expressed due to disease resistance with putative targets involved in innate immunity.

Symbiosis, hybridization, and speciation in Mediterranean octocorals (Octocorallia, Eunicellidae) [PDF]

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society
Abstract 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.

Cnida Morphology as Taxonomic Tools within Tube-Dwelling Anemones (Ceriantharia, Cnidaria)

Oceans
Cnidome morphology appears to be a valuable tool for anthozoan (Octocarallia, Ceriantharia, and Hexacorallia) taxonomy. Ceriantharian cnidomes consist of b-mastigophores, isorhizas, spirocysts, and ptychocysts, including different subtypes.

Restoration of animal forests: a novel transplantion method for coastal octocorals in the NE Atlantic

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2025.
Octocorals are among the main habitat‐engineering species, generating complex three‐dimensional ecosystems of unquestioned importance. Despite their importance, octocoral habitats have dramatically declined in the last decades due to several stressors. Consequently, octocoral gardens are internationally recognized as Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems.

Octocorals in the Galapagos Islands [PDF]

, 2009
The Galapagos octocorals were almost unknown until recent years. Of the three orders within the subclass Octocorallia (Anthozoa, Cnidaria), the Pennatulacea (sea pens) and Alcyonacea (soft corals and gorgonians) occur in the Galapagos. Recent collections

Mushroom Soft Corals (Octocorallia: Coralliidae) From Seamounts in the Tropical Northwestern Pacific: Morphology and Phylogenetic Analysis Reveal a New Genus and Six New Species

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Mushroom soft corals in the subfamily Anthomastinae are among the most remarkable octocorals found in the deep sea, characterized by their capitate or mushroom‐shaped red colonies and large autozooids. To date, their species diversity remains largely unknown due to limited research, and their phylogenetic relationships have yet to be explored. Based on

Beyond the Surface: Mesophotic Reefs as Potential Refuges for Shallow Fish Assemblages

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The deep reef refugia hypothesis suggests that the effects of disturbance decrease as depth increases; thus, reefs in the mesophotic zone potentially serve as refuges for communities in shallower zones. This study challenged this hypothesis by evaluating fish diversity in shallow and mesophotic reefs in a marine protected area in the Gulf of ...
