Chemical adaptations in the Octocorallia: evolutionary considerations
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1992 The Octocorallia are a highly diverse group, rich in secondary compounds which serve several ecological functions, including predator defense, interspecific competition for space, antifouling, and reproduction. The Alcyonacea are characterized by high frequencies of ichthyotoxicity and feeding deterrence which are not generally correlated with each ...

Ancient DNA from coral-hosted Symbiodinium reveal a static mutualism over the last 172 years. [PDF]
, 2013 Ancient DNA (aDNA) provides powerful evidence for detecting the genetic basis for adaptation to environmental change in many taxa. Among the greatest of changes in our biosphere within the last century is rapid anthropogenic ocean warming.

Genomics of Terpene Biosynthesis in Dictyoceratid Sponges (Porifera) – What Do We (Not) Know?
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2024.Abstract Sponges are recognized as promising sources for novel bioactive metabolites. Among them are terpenoid metabolites that constitute key biochemical defense mechanisms in several sponge taxa. Despite their significance, the genetic basis for terpenoid biosynthesis in sponges remains poorly understood.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2024.Abstract Bamboo corals are promising archives of paleoceanographic conditions. Existing calibrations for element‐to‐calcium ratio (El/Ca) proxies of bamboo corals, however, are not necessarily calibrated to contemporaneous environmental parameters, thus weakening the reliability of the proxies. Here, we aim at calibrating the proxies by comparing El/Ca

A survey of the genera Sarcodictyon Forbes, 1847, and rolandia Lacaze-Duthiers, 1900, (anthozoa: octocorallia) in the North-eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean [PDF]
, 2000 Sarcodictyon catenatum Forbes, 1847, is a common species in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. However, often it has been mistaken for Rolandia coralloides Lacaze-Duthiers, 1900.

Redescription of Acrophytum claviger (Coelenterata: Octocorallia)
The Beagle : Records of the Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory, 1985 Acrophytum claviger Hickson, a little known soft coral from South African waters, is redescribed from one of Hickson's original specimens. The specimen is designated as a paralectotype. Photographs and sclerite drawings supplement Hickson's sparsely illustrated paper, as do histological data from an additional specimen containing an unusual ...
