This study uses population genomics and larval dispersal modeling to show that Swiftia exserta relies on clonal propagation within mesophotic banks and episodic larval exchange between them.

This study combines genomic and otolith data to assess connectivity in snapper species, finding weak genetic structure but distinct environmental signatures in otoliths, highlighting ecological differentiation within a connected system.

The paper identifies cryptic species in the sea anemone Entacmaea quadricolor and suggests it may be undergoing adaptive radiation in response to clownfish symbiosis.

The paper designs and tests new PCR primers for eDNA metabarcoding to assess anthozoan coral biodiversity, showing high enrichment and accurate genus-level identification.

The paper updates the number of mitochondrial gene order arrangements in octocorals from seven to twelve and explores their evolutionary implications.

This paper uses phylogenomic analysis to show that clownfish-hosting sea anemones diversified coincidently with clownfishes, supporting co-evolutionary patterns in their mutualistic relationship.

This paper presents the first complete draft genome of the octocoral Renilla muelleri using a hybrid de novo assembly, providing a resource for studying gene evolution in Anthozoa.

The paper designs and tests RNA baits to capture phylogenetically informative loci in anthozoans, successfully resolving evolutionary relationships across multiple taxa.
