The Function of Surface Sclerites in Gorgonians (Coelenterata, Octocorallia)
The Biological Bulletin, 1991 Branches of a variety of species of gorgonians representing the common sclerite types were fixed in flexed (bent) positions and examined by scanning electron microscopy. To determine changes in position of sclerites associated with extension and compression, appropriate measures of sclerite density and angle were taken.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can rapidly characterise biodiversity, yet its accuracy and effectiveness are limited by incomplete DNA barcode reference databases. We evaluated how comprehensive reference databases that include sequence variation within genomes (intragenomic) and across individuals and species (intergenomic) improve ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.
