A New genus of Soft Coral of the Family Alcyoniidae (Cnidaria, Octocorallia) with Re-Description of a New Combination and Description of a New Species [PDF]

, 2011
A new genus, Aldersladum (family Alcyoniidae), is established to accommodate a previously described species, Effl atounaria sodwanae Benayahu, 1993 (family Xeniidae) from Sodwana Bay, South Africa that was wrongly assigned to the latter genus.

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.

Fuzzy species limits in Mediterranean gorgonians (Cnidaria, Octocorallia): inferences on speciation processes [PDF]

, 2017
The study of the interplay between speciation and hybridization is of primary importance in evolutionary biology. Octocorals are ecologically important species whose shallow phylogenetic relationships often remain to be studied. In the Mediterranean Sea,

Mesophotic Gorgonian Corals Evolved Multiple Times and Faster Than Deep and Shallow Lineages

Diversity, 2021
Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs) develop on a unique environment, where abrupt environmental changes take place. Using a time-calibrated molecular phylogeny (mtDNA: mtMutS), we examined the lineage membership of mesophotic gorgonian corals ...

Some Observations on the Reproductive Biology of the Mediterranean Pennatulacean Pteroeides Spinosum (Ellis and Solander, 1786) (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Pennatulacea)

Thalassas: An International Journal of Marine Sciences, 2022
Sea pens are some of the most important structural species in soft bottom benthic communities. Pteroeides spinosum is a shallow-water pennatulacean (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Pennatulacea) habiting NE Atlantic-Mediterranean bottoms.

Global Neuropeptide Annotations From the Genomes and Transcriptomes of Cubozoa, Scyphozoa, Staurozoa (Cnidaria: Medusozoa), and Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
During animal evolution, ancestral Cnidaria and Bilateria diverged more than 600 million years ago. The nervous systems of extant cnidarians are strongly peptidergic.
