The skeletome of the red coral Corallium rubrum indicates an independent evolution of biomineralization process in octocorals

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The process of calcium carbonate biomineralization has arisen multiple times during metazoan evolution. In the phylum Cnidaria, biomineralization has mostly been studied in the subclass Hexacorallia (i.e.
