Mitochondrial and nuclear genes suggest that stony corals are monophyletic but most families of stony corals are not (Order Scleractinia, Class Anthozoa, Phylum Cnidaria). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Modern hard corals (Class Hexacorallia; Order Scleractinia) are widely studied because of their fundamental role in reef building and their superb fossil record extending back to the Triassic.

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

The complete mitochondrial genome of Montipora aequituberculata (Scleractinia, Acroporidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2017
The complete mitogenome of the hexacorallia, Montipora aequituberculata has been amplified and sequenced. The mitogenome consists of 17,886 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 2 transfer RNA genes and a control region. It has been observed that ND5 gene is split into two parts by a large fragment of genes, which commonly presented ...

Spatial distribution and abundance of nonindigenous coral genus Tubastraea (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) around Ilha Grande, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The distribution and abundance of azooxanthellate coral Tubastraea Lesson, 1829 were examined at different depths and their slope preference was measured on rocky shores on Ilha Grande, Brazil.

Algal Symbionts Indicate Heatwave Vulnerability in Corals From Hotspots but Not From Thermal Refugia

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Reef‐building corals face continued declines due to climate change‐amplified marine heatwaves. In addition to affecting coral heat tolerance, corals' algal endosymbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae) can reflect their prior heatwave exposure, although understanding is often limited to heatwave‐induced shifts between symbiont genera.

Utilização de registros de corais de profundidade (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) para prever a localização e mapear tipos de substratos na plataforma e talude continental do sul do Brasil

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2008
Grande parte da plataforma e talude continental sul-brasileiro não possui detalhamento acerca dos mosaicos sedimentológicos, em parte devido aos elevados custos de cruzeiros oceanográficos específicos para o mapeamento sedimentológico de águas profundas.

New Species and Phylogeny of Alentiana Hartman, 1942 (Annelida, Polynoidae) Reveal Polyphyly of Lepidastheniinae and Key Morphological Character Evolution

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Alentiana, a genus within the subfamily Lepidastheniinae of Polynoidae, is an obligately commensal deep‐sea group exclusively associated with sea anemones. Currently, only two valid species are recognized, with the genus’s species diversity and phylogenetic relationships remaining poorly understood.

An illustrated key to the genera and subgenera of the Recent azooxanthellate Scleractinia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa), with an attached glossary

ZooKeys, 2012
The 120 presently recognized genera and seven subgenera of the azooxanthellate Scleractinia are keyed using gross morphological characters of the corallum. All genera are illustrated with calicular and side views of coralla.

Brain Transcriptomics Reveals Molecular Mechanisms of Cave Adaptation in Triplophysa Loaches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study compares brain transcriptomes of cave (Triplophysa shilinensis) and surface‐dwelling (T. xiangshuingensis) loaches to uncover molecular adaptations to subterranean life. We identified widespread gene down‐regulation in the cave ecotype, with enriched pathways in energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, sensory perception, and body coloration ...
