Three new species and the molecular phylogeny of Antipathozoanthus from the Indo-Pacific Ocean (Anthozoa, Hexacorallia, Zoantharia) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2017
In this study, three new species of macrocnemic zoantharians (Hexacorallia, Zoantharia) are described from localities in the Indo-Pacific Ocean including the Red Sea, the Maldives, Palau, and southern Japan: Antipathozoanthus obscurus sp.

A dataset of cold-water coral distribution records [PDF]

Data in Brief, 2023
Species distribution data are key for monitoring present and future biodiversity patterns and informing conservation and management strategies. Large biodiversity information facilities often contain spatial and taxonomic errors that reduce the quality ...

Parazoanthidae (Cnidaria, Zoantharia) associated with glass sponges on the Nishi-Shichito Ridge, northwestern Pacific Ocean, with the description of a new species [PDF]

ZooKeys
Seamounts are biodiversity hotspots that face increasing threats from anthropogenic activities. Seamounts host diverse sessile suspension-feeding organisms such as sponges and anthozoans, which are crucial for seamount ecosystems as they construct three ...

Glow in the D-ARK: a new bioluminescent species of Corallizoanthus (Anthozoa: Zoantharia: Parazoanthidae) from southern Japan [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Bioluminescence is a common phenomenon found in many marine environments and has evolved independently dozens of times across the Tree of Life. In Anthozoa, a single origin of bioluminescence in Octocorallia has been proposed, while the evolution of ...

Shallow-Water Species Diversity of Common Intertidal Zoantharians (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Zoantharia) along the Northeastern Coast of Trinidad, Southern Caribbean

Oceans, 2021
Zoantharians are colonial cnidarians commonly found in shallow tropical Caribbean coral reefs, and are known to be globally distributed. Common species in genera Zoanthus and Palythoa occur at Toco, Trinidad, where they are more abundant than their ...

Zoantharia (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia) of the Dutch Caribbean and One New Species of Parazoanthus [PDF]

Diversity, 2020
Species of the anthozoan order Zoantharia (=Zoanthidea) are common components of subtropical and tropical shallow water coral reefs. Despite a long history of research on their species diversity in the Caribbean, many regions within this sea remain ...

A Case of Palytoxin Poisoning in a Home Aquarium Enthusiast and His Family [PDF]

Case Reports in Emergency Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Inhalational exposure to palytoxin is an extremely rare cause of respiratory distress. This little‐known marine toxin has the potential to cause significant morbidity and mortality. Toxicity has been best documented in cases of ingestion but has also been seen in cases of dermal exposure and inhalation of vapors.

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 397-417, March 2026.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

An underwater imagery identification guide for shallow, mesophotic and deep-sea benthos in Maldives [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
During the 2022 Nekton Maldives Mission, we deployed a variety of platforms (snorkelling, remotely-operated vehicles and manned submersibles) to conduct video surveys of the biodiversity and composition of shallow (< 30 m), mesophotic (30-150 m ...

Environmental DNA reveals a multi‐taxa biogeographic break across the Arabian Sea and Sea of Oman

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 206-221, January 2022., 2022
We conducted a multi‐marker eDNA metabarcoding survey across the coastline of Oman to assess whether eDNA‐derived fish and invertebrate communities reflected a biogeographic break between the north and the south of Oman. The eDNA data indicated that this faunal break is mostly reflected in schooling baitfish species but also included corals, sponges ...
