Bioactivity of a polyhydroxy gorgostane steroid from Xenia umbellata
Open Chemistry, 2022 A C-30 steroid, 3β-,5α-,6β-,11α-,20β-pentahydroxygorgosterol was isolated from the soft coral Xenia umbellata Lamarck (Xeniidae). The chemical structure was elucidated by examining the NMR spectral data and comparison with the previously published data ...

Spatial and Short-Term Temporal Patterns of Octocoral Assemblages in the West Philippine Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Octocorals are relatively understudied than other coral reef organisms despite their ecological and economic values. The Philippines is known to have high marine biodiversity, but information on octocorals is lacking.

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef-Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of <i>Dichocoenia stokesii</i>, <i>Diploria labyrinthiformis</i>, <i>Oculina patagonica</i>, and <i>Stephanocoenia intersepta</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

Biogeographic patterns in sea pens (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea)
Marine Biodiversity, 2023 AbstractPennatulaceans (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea) are among the most dominant octocoral species living in soft bottom communities. Some of them are cosmopolitan and have been recorded in all seas and oceans of the world, from shallow waters up to about 6260 m deep.
