Genome sizes and repeatome evolution in zoantharians (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Zoantharia) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Across eukaryotes, large variations of genome sizes have been observed even between closely related species. Transposable elements as part of the repeated DNA have been proposed and confirmed as one of the most important contributors to genome size ...

Mitochondrial genome comparison reveals the evolution of cnidarians [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 First of all, we used mt‐genomes as many as possible published before to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Secondly, more recent studies based on mitochondrial whole‐genome sequences have suggested that Anthozoa are polyphyletic, with the subclasses Octocorallia being a sister group with Medusozoa.

Comparison of Symbiodiniaceae diversities in different members of a Palythoa species complex (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Zoantharia)—implications for ecological adaptations to different microhabitats [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 In this study we compared genotypes of zoantharian host-associating algal symbionts among Palythoa species, which are among the dominant benthic reef organisms in the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, and evaluated Symbiodiniaceae diversities of closely related

Lista de Zoantharia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) del Caribe y de Colombia [PDF]
Biota Colombiana, 2005 oantharia es un orden de gran importancia en la subclase Hexacorallia (clase Anthozoa), usualmente conocidos como Zoantideos o anémonas coloniales. Está compuesto en su mayoría por organismos coloniales (Herberts 1987), de distribución cosmopolita en los

Check List of Iran marine Cnidarians (Animalia, Cnidaria) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2020 There is an urgent need for quality control of marine species data published in domestic journals and open access databases. We extracted 149 accepted Cnidarian species after the quality control process on available published records on the OBIS data ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 1430-1444, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Gorgonian forests are among the most complex of subtidal habitats in the Mediterranean Sea, supporting high biodiversity and providing diverse ecosystem services. Despite their iconic status, the geographical distribution and condition of gorgonian species is poorly known.

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 34-49, January 2022., 2022 This study examines the efficacy of a dual assay eDNA metabarcoding approach for sessile benthic bioassessments in the turbid waters of the Lalang‐garram marine parks, Kimberley, north‐western Australia. We detected approximately 70% of the local benthic taxa however gaps in publicly available benthic ITS2 reference sequence data, limited our ability ...
