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 ...

Global Cold-Water Coral Biodiversity Redistribution Under Projected Climate Change. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolCold‐water corals are key habitat providers in the world's oceans, yet their global distribution, diversity patterns, and vulnerability to climate change remain poorly understood. Our study mapped the global distribution of 741 cold‐water coral species and showed that while the overall coral biome may persist in the future, many species will shift ...
