Core‐Top Calibrations for Element‐To‐Calcium Proxies of Seawater Properties in Bamboo Corals (Keratoisididae) From the South China Sea

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Bamboo corals are promising archives of paleoceanographic conditions. Existing calibrations for element‐to‐calcium ratio (El/Ca) proxies of bamboo corals, however, are not necessarily calibrated to contemporaneous environmental parameters, thus weakening the reliability of the proxies. Here, we aim at calibrating the proxies by comparing El/Ca

Phylogenomic Analyses Support Traditional Relationships within Cnidaria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cnidaria, the sister group to Bilateria, is a highly diverse group of animals in terms of morphology, lifecycles, ecology, and development. How this diversity originated and evolved is not well understood because phylogenetic relationships among major ...

Octocorals in the Galapagos Islands [PDF]

, 2009
The Galapagos octocorals were almost unknown until recent years. Of the three orders within the subclass Octocorallia (Anthozoa, Cnidaria), the Pennatulacea (sea pens) and Alcyonacea (soft corals and gorgonians) occur in the Galapagos. Recent collections

Diversity and function of fluorescent molecules in marine animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1391-1410, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Fluorescence in marine animals has mainly been studied in Cnidaria but is found in many different phyla such as Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Chordata. While many fluorescent proteins and molecules have been identified, very little information is available about the biological functions of fluorescence.

Skeletal mineralogy of marine calcifying organisms shaped by seawater temperature and evolutionary history—A case study of cheilostome bryozoans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Aim Quantify the contribution of environmental factors (water temperature, salinity and depth) and evolutionary history to varied skeletal mineralogy in calcifying marine organisms. Location Global Ocean. Time period Present. Major taxa studied Order: Cheilostomatida; Phylum: Bryozoa.

Cnida Morphology as Taxonomic Tools within Tube-Dwelling Anemones (Ceriantharia, Cnidaria)

Oceans
Cnidome morphology appears to be a valuable tool for anthozoan (Octocarallia, Ceriantharia, and Hexacorallia) taxonomy. Ceriantharian cnidomes consist of b-mastigophores, isorhizas, spirocysts, and ptychocysts, including different subtypes.

Diversity of Feeding in Anthozoa (Cnidaria): A Systematic Review

Diversity, 2020
In this study, we performed a bibliographical review examining the scientific literature on “feeding in Anthozoa” for the period from 1890 to 2019, using the scientific database Google Scholar, supplemented with additional literature.
